Great video! What a beautiful rec center and pool.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the awesome video! Saluki rec center will be our closest rec center. You even showed us our new house right across the pond from the center. (We havenât even seen it yet! ) We leave California tomorrow to drive across the country to the villages and pick up our keys next week. Weâre so excited! And now weâre even more excited because of your video! Great job showing everything the rec center has to offer!
Wow! What a small world! That is awesome! Glad you enjoyed it and that you spotted your new home in our video. Safe travels on your cross country road trip from CA to FL! Good luck and have fun on your closing day experience next week! Keep us posted!
Congratulions on your new house! Safe travels 'home'! How cool that you got to see your new house in the video! Awesome!
We drove across country from Calif to The Villages in Nov 2022 (I10 the whole way). We didnât have a home yet, but found it 3 days later. We live in DeLuna, which is about 25 minutes by cart from Saluki Rec so we went to the grand opening yesterday in the later morning. Youâll love it! Safe travels and best of luck with your new home. Exciting times for you! đ
Thank you so much for the tour of the Rec centers and the mail stations. All that info is great.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
My wife and I are building in the cottage neighborhood that will be right behind the Shadybrook postal station and recreation center. That building that you thought was a rec center in Eastport was the medical offices in Eastport. The next one is the new golf cart dealership. Thanks for the video Michael, its nice to keep up with what is happening from Tennessee.
Thatâs awesome! Congratulations and good luck with your new home here at TV! Thanks for the info on the new medical offices. Good for everyone to know. Will make sure to share in an update video on Eastport. Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks!
â¤đthanks for sharing
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Another enjoyable and info filled video Michael. Thank you. You both are totally inspiring. We are looking forward to moving to the villages next year. Like yâall we have 4 houses and a 45 year collection of antiques to dispose of first. See ya on the flip side.
Saluki sounds like so much fun. Thank you for taking us to the ribbon cutting. I feel like I was there!
Awesomeness! Glad you enjoyed it and felt like you were right there with us. Thanks!
Y'all look like you have SO - MUCH - FUN - I am so excited to become a TV resident soon! âĽ
We are having an awesome time here at TV! Having even more fun now that we got an awesome golf car. Good luck with your upcoming move to TV! Keep us posted! Thanks!
@@MichaelTiffanyTVE We do plan to get exactly what y'all have, it's perfect !!!
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Thank you for the information about the mailboxes and pools closing early. I donât think I would like either one of those things. May be a little south of Brownwood.
With all the building and people moving in , there needs to be more hospitals, doctors' offices, etccc.
So, the citizens don't have far to travel.
We have a SIU here and there's one in Southern Illinois ( 3 hrs away ) . Southern Illinois University.
Hopefully more doctors offices and medical facilities will be opening in then new sections of TV soon. Thanks!
That building that Michael thouht was a rec center nearing completion in the front of the Eastport town center, will be a new medical office building with multiple disciplines represented.
Thanks for the info!
@@MichaelTiffanyTVE I only typed this, I am always concerned of people ( all ages ) , about their health.
@@MrDaleOaks glad to hear that.
Thank you for showing me around the Saluki center, itâs an adorable theme and a beautiful space. I can totally relate with you on getting another dog. We lost our boy he was 15 1/2 years. Miniature Pinscher named Lance ( Sir Lancelot). We miss him dearly. Hi đđť to Tiffany. Great Video
Glad you enjoyed the tour! The theme is awesome for all of us who love our dogs! Wow! 15 and 1/2 years being part of your family and your hearts forever. Sir Lancelot is an awesome name! Totally agree and understand. We miss our Molly Dog madly and think about her every day. She would have loved The Villages and all the dog parks. Tiffany says hello đ! Have an awesome weekend! Thanks!
From Troy and Felecia Hunt of Moultrie Creek - it was awesome-awesome to meet you!đ
Hi Troy and Felecia! It was Awesome Awesome to meet you two too! Thanks for saying hello! Hopefully Tiffany will be with me the next time you spot us out and about! Have an Awesome Awesome weekend!
Awesome awesome video! Tell us about no shoes nation!
Thanks! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
No Shoes Nation is officially a fan community of Kenny Chesney and his music. Itâs about loving life and loving music. Trying to live a lifestyle of relaxation, calm and joy. An attitude of being in the moment and enjoying that moment!
Carpe Diem! Seize The Day!
The Saluki center is adorable. Thanks for showing us around!
Very adorable! Especially for all of us dog lovers. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Thanks for posting! Yeah, the amount of construction going on in TV is massive. When you go south across that Bexley Bridge and see construction literally as far as you can see...wow! I did have a question for you though. Since you guys live closer to Franklin Rec, is it worth it to head all the way out to Saluki? Aren't they all generally the same? You mentioned that you used to go to Fenney a lot, which got me thinking why people would travel to a different rec center. Either way, we will find out soon enough - we sold our old house this weekend, so we'll be doing the final move-in to our home in Dabney much sooner than expected. Looking forward to spending more time down there soon!
Awesomeness! Congratulations on selling your old home and good luck on your move to your new home in Dabney!
Great question about the rec centers. All of the rec center are themed differently and have different vibes. Itâs fun to just go check out the different themes and decor. While all rec center do share some of the same basic amenities they do have differences and a unique charm. Excited for yâall to move here to TV and start exploring. Keep us posted! Thanks!
Another great video! It's a cool rec center. What about the dog tile in the bathrooms?! By the way, I passed the two of you on your golf cart today going down Meggison! Thanks for the wave back!!
Thanks! That is awesome! Thanks for waving as you went by. Hope you had a great weekend!
Saluki will be my home away from home. My brother and I bought in shady brook behind the rec center. On September 10th we"ll join you and Tiffany as villagers when we close. Thanks for the preview..
Thatâs awesome! Congratulations! September will be here before you know it! Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks!
Nothing like a video from you two villagers. Love watching and following along. Thank you Michael.
Awww⌠Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! Have an awesome weekend!
You must be living under a lucky star! First, you win a golf cart for a week and now, a door prize. Congratulations! Thanks for another wonderful video. (Or, should I say AWESOME video, lol. )
But please, proceed with caution (and stay home -- no driving!) if you're taking a drink every time he says "awesome." ;-)
If I could only get that lucky with lottery tickets! 𤣠Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for being awesome!
@@billredding2000 And 2 drinks for every "awesome, awesome".
Absolutely! Definitely make sure to stay home or have a designated driver if you play the Awesome drinking game. đ
Too funny!! đ Definitely make sure you have a designated driver for the double awesome! đť
We were just there for our fourth visit. We took the tour to the Street of Dreams and were told it will be about 2 years for EastPort to be finished they have enough land to build for 10 to 12 more years. We will be moving in 2026!
Awesomeness! Thanks for sharing! 2026 will be here before you know it!
I really enjoyed watching Michael video on Street of Dreams. Where I live, we have a lot of activities like the Villagers have and we have bike trails all over the place, new trails are being built all the time. Four Cities each have their own gyms ( 2 each ) for each cities , over 400 activities years round for ALL AGES from 6 months - 100+ years old .
When did they tell you Olympia Rec Center will open?
Haha! The Hunts are my neighborsâŚreally nice couple!
Thatâs awesome! Small world! They were super nice. Thanks!
That song you played at 2:40 is an old school CZcams song lol love it!
Awesomeness! Itâs a fun and happy tune! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing Michael. Love your videos
Thanks Steve! Glad you enjoyed it! The grand opening was a lot of fun.
Hey Michael, great video!! Thanks for sharing with us all! Question (and it may sound cold - donât mean it to): seems like a good amount of recreation centers and pools and places are geared more toward families vs. 55+ only. Do you know if this is something The Villages is doing intentionally to head more toward that family-oriented style? Thanks for any help you can provide on that. Enjoy your time in TV for me and hopefully weâll be there in around eight years (manâŚsounds like forever). â¤â¤
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video! Great question. Not totally sure but will do more research, ask folks who work for TV and cover that topic in a future video. My best guess is changing demographics and offering more amenities and activities that appeal to Gen X (our generation) and to also make it more appealing to get kids and grandkids to want and come visit parents/grandparents here at TV. We love it when our 26 year old comes to visit!
Now where was sweet Tiffany at? Missed herđGreat video Michael thank youâ¤
Tiffany says hello and thanks for asking! đ She had a lot of meetings yesterday. We are not retired and both work from home and travel for our careers. I work for myself which allows me a little more flexibility to go do things like this during the work week. But the awesome thing about living at TV is there is always something to see and do whenever we are off work or have some free time. She did make a cameo appearance in this video! Have an awesome weekend! Thanks!
"Thanks! Great job sharing..."
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Michael! Enjoy your enthusiasm and positivity. The new rec center looks amazing. My wifeâs allowing me to do all the research on TV and your channel is a big help on what to expect. đ
Thanks so much! That is awesome! Glad you are enjoying our videos and that our channel is helping with your research. Do yâall have a target date to move to TV?
No date yet but am so looking for to it.
Hi there⌠my boyfriend and I love your videos âŚ. My parents live in the village of st Catherine âŚ. We are coming down there next week and hoping we get to run into you in person!!
Awesomeness! Hope you have a great visit! Unfortunately, Tiffany is traveling for work all this week but you might see me out and about on the golf cart (depending on the weather). We have not had any real rain in weeks but it looks like starting tomorrow we are going to have rain every day for the next 7 consecutive days. Say hello if you see me out and about! Thanks!
@@MichaelTiffanyTVE Actually it's next week we will be down there. We spend a lot of time over at Sawgrass! Hope to run into you....
Awesome video today Michael! Thanks for the 'First Look'! Can't wait to check it all out when we get back to our house there in October. It's going to be an awesome area when it's all finished and not far from us in the Hammock at Fenney. Yay!
Thanks Judy! Glad you enjoyed it! Have an awesome summer outside the bubble! See you back here at TV in the fall! You will be amazed at all the new construction when you get back. Thanks!
Your videos are so well done. I canât wait to see if you start using a drone! Love watching you and Tiffany! đ
Thank you so much! We have fun making them and I like the editing process. Glad they are helpful and bring others joy! Thanks for watching out for the đ in the this video.
Again, thank you for the tour.
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing, this is great. So exciting, can't wait to be there next month. This is going be our area.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thatâs awesome that this will be your area. Congratulations! Good luck! Have fun on your closing day! Keep us posted! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the tour! Still waiting to come down for a Lifestyle Visit!
Glad you enjoyed it! Keep us posted when you make it down for a lifestyle visit! Thanks!
Great video. I had thought about going but it didnât work out. So glad you provided it for me.
Sorry you missed it in person but glad you got to enjoy and experience it via our video! Go check it out and let us know what you think when you get a chance. Thanks!
Another great job!đ´đ
Thanks so much!! đđđ´
Great meeting you today, hoping to meet Tiffany soon ! Lisa
Thanks Lisa! Awesome meeting you too! Tiffany says hello!
Hi Michael and Tiffany! I tried to catch all of your videos, but somehow I seem to miss the one where hopefully you showed the upgrade you made to your laundry closet. At least I know you mentioned something about adding some shelving or something. Did you also add any kind of shelving to your closets and if so, have you, made a video of that? Thank you so much. Iâm really trying to get organized here.
Here is the direct link to that video. Thanks! czcams.com/video/D24VNGwCAtQ/video.html
Thanks I found the new video you put out and got to see your laundry closet! Great job
Awesome video! Helpful info, as always. Dan, our lil poodle, Ruby Sue, and I putting our condo here in CLT up on the market in early October and are trying to coordinate our Lifestyle Visit around that time. We are so excited to begin this new chapter in our lives. Thanks so much for your fun, informative videos!!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful! Is your condo in Uptown CLT? Good luck with the sale! October is a great time for a lifestyle visit. Cooler, less humidity and not packed for the season yet. Keep us posted!
Hey! Our condo is on Myers Park, right across from Reidâs Fine Foods Weâve loved our time in Charlotte, but with me turning 55 itâs time for our next adventure! đ
Hi Michael, absolutely love all the videos and the new golf car as well. We have been looking in the Dabney area and was curious how the ride was over to Eastport and the Shady Brook areas and does it seem like a long ride? Thank you
Awesomeness! Glad you are enjoying them. It is not that long and an enjoyable ride to Sawgrass and to Eastport areas and not that bad even to Brownwood. The new path makes it so much easier and fun to get to Magnolia and Fenney too. It is however a very long ride up to Lake Sumter and Spanish Springs. Will document and share times in future videos. Thanks!
Love the golf cart videos!
Awesomeness! Us too! Glad you are enjoying them. Thanks!
Smashed - subbed - loved âĽ
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! đâ¤ď¸đ
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO. THANKS.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Great video!!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Hi you guys!!!!! GREAT video - thank you so much for all the information you provide with your videos- no idea how important your videos are to people who are possibly moving to TV from out of state. Question from my better half, what size battery is on your brand new evolution golf car? Matt & Amy from WI
Thanks so much! Always great to get positive feedback that our videos are helpful and enjoyable. Makes me want to go out and make another video for everyone! We upgraded to the 205Ah battery from the 110Ah. I would recommend upgrading to at least the 160Ah. Good luck and keep us posted!
Great Stuff!
Thanks for always taking the time to leave a comment on every video! Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it! đđ
Well done video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Great video, once again. And the little ditties for tunes you pick are really great and upbeat! Always fun to watch your downloads. Thanks once again from (now, somewhat) sunny Western Orygun..:)
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video and the music too! Sending you moreâď¸ from Florida!
Should put in gambling machines for revenue in all centers, and dog pictures of residents dogs, they pay to put up on walls, like having benches along pathways, not sure if against Villages laws, cause problems, resentments with so many people living in THE VILLAGES. Thank you for your videos, enjoy them immensely
Great ideas đĄ! So glad you are enjoying our videos! Thanks!
Great video
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. I love the new rec center. Wish I was already there. Would have loved to get one of those Saluke pins. I also plan to get a golf cart like yours! I didn't realize that you guys were from Charlotte, NC. I live in East Charlotte myself.
Awesomeness! Small world. We were just back in Charlotte/Matthews/Mint Hill a couple of weeks ago. South and East Charlotte is where we lived for 17 years and raised our family. Raleigh/Cary area before that and then Greenville and Clemson, SC before that. Go Tigers! đ The Carolinas will always be home in our â¤ď¸. When are you moving to TV? We may have to start a Charlotte or a NC club or a Carolinas club for both NC & SC. Or maybe a Southern Villagers from the South club! Have an awesome weekend! Thanks!
@@MichaelTiffanyTVE I hope to be there by summer next year. I was wondering if there was an NC club. That would be neat.
Michael and Tiffany how much are the bonds in the new area ? Please
They have gone up but I do not know the exact amount. Hopefully someone else can answer. I am going to some open houses in the new area soon. Will share what we find out in a future video. Thanks!
Great video Michael. Tiffany I miss your beautiful smile and hair ties!!!â¤â¤â¤ stay safe wherever you are đđđđđđđđ
Thanks so much! Tiffany says hello! â¤ď¸
Is it a challenge to put your new Evolution golf cart in your golf cart garage? I have a similar Emerald model villa and was looking into new golf carts, but was concerned about the dimensions of that golf cart.
Yes and no. You have to park it straight in and have both front tires touch the wall for the garage door to close with only about a half inch of clearance. I put a piece of cardboard on my wall and pull in slowly and make sure they both touch before closing the door. Very easy to get the hang of it once you do it a couple of times. Will share how I park in our full review video in the next two weeks. FYI⌠the 2+2 is actually longer than our 4 forward. Thanks!
Luv the golf car we are looking soon any info on your electric car would be helpful, were in Newel too
Awesome! We â¤ď¸ our new EVolution golf car. Full review video in the next two weeks (or sooner). Thanks!
do you guys live near moultrie creek? I am trying to figure out where that new path is to Magnolia Plaza
No, we do not live near Moultrie Creek. The new cart path runs parallel to Marsh Bend Trail. There is a cart tunnel underneath Warm Springs Ave to Magnolia. Hope that helps!
Thanks Michael for another awesome video and can't wait to get my golf cart so I can go exploring too! But I am afraid of getting lost or going on the wrong road,is that easy to do?
Yes, you will probably get lost at first but donât worry about it or let it keep you from getting out and exploring TV. You will learn the landmarks and which way to turn exiting tunnels pretty quickly. If you get lost just pull over to a safe spot off the path and another awesome Villager on a golf cart will be by soon to ask if everything is okay or if you need help with directions. Sometimes getting lost here at TV leads to some fun and unexpected awesome adventures! You can do it! Thanks!
Just wondering if the public areas at Saluki allow your pet (pool, rec center etc...) is there a Dog park there?
I asked that day and they said that they only allow registered service dogs inside Saluki. No dog park at that location but I bet they will be building new ones in that area at some point. Hopefully soon. Thanks!
Exciting things happening
Absolutely! So many exciting and awesome things happening at TV! Thanks!
I love Your golf cart. đ
The color is amazing!!
The new center is beautiful
What is the temperature there ?
Thank you
God Bless
Thanks so much! We â¤ď¸ it and are enjoying exploring TV and sharing new experiences with everyone! Sunny âď¸ and 96 degrees today!
@@MichaelTiffanyTVE wonderful enjoy and I enjoy your channel very much
you and your wife are beautiful couple
Awww⌠đâşď¸ Thank you!
Eastport opening is likely late 2025.
Thanks! Will be doing a lot of videos and updates on Eastport! 2025 will be here before we know it!
Does it have a fee? Like a gym to use at these recreation centers?
Yes and no. All Villagers pay a small monthly amenity fee that includes so many awesome things like⌠The use all of the rec centers and amenities inside and outside, all the pools and regular golf (executive, pitch and putt and putting courses). There are additional fees if you want to join the full workout gyms in the Regional Rec centers or play the championship golf courses or join the Country Club pools. They have so many free classes like line dancing, etc. but they also have special Enrichment Academy classes for an additional fee. Will do a video on this in the future. Here are some links with more info. Thanks!

What is the master plan of the villages and Eastport
Itâs going to be awesome! Here is a link with more info. www.thevillages.com/whatsnew/continuing-the-dream/welcome-to-eastport
What part of charlotte nc are you from I have family there near and in the ballintyne area
Awesomeness! We lived in and close to the Ballantyne area. That area has been growing and growing for the last 20+ years.
What did you win???
We won a gift certificate for a free class for The Enrichment Academy. Now we just have to figure out what class to take and then share in a future video. Thanks!

How far is chic Fe la from you in the villages
The closest one is about 30 minutes away by car or an hour and 20 minutes by golf cart.
Nice video. Thanks. What does the pirate flag represent?
No Shoes Nation! Kenny Chesney fans community. Kind of like the Parrot Head community (which we are part of too) for Jimmy Buffett fans. Here are some links with more info and the song that started it all. Kenny and Jimmy played together a lot and even recorded a song together. Thanks!
