Meet Susan — your Villages insider

Hi, I'm Susan — a retired principal who swapped Ohio winters for golf carts, pickleball, and happy hours in The Villages. I've spent years getting to know every square, patio, and live-music night worth your time, and I'm the local behind this site and its weekly blog. When you want to know what's actually good — or who to call — I'm your neighbor.
