Did it happen?

fulltimedaniel, I have made this same argument about our parks in the RGV. We are in the park my parents bought into 30 years ago. For the most part, nothing has changed. There are still some oldtimers here, and no matter what is brought up at the meetings, rarely is a change ever made. Someone recently brought up (again) taking out the horseshoe pits since no one uses them. They decided they can't because the covenants say horseshoe courts are provided and it would be too expensive to change the covenants. Good grief. No one uses them, they built a sidewalk through them to get to the pool. . . shaking my head. I'm told there is so much going on . . . you can be as busy as you want. Yep. . .about 150 different kinds of card games, pool hall, a swimming pool, bean bag baseball, a jam where anyone who can't sing, read a note or have any musical talent can get up and warble. We put on "street dinners" to raise money to keep our assessments low. Many younger ones have proposed doing away with those and charging more than the $250 yearly assessment, but that gets voted down. The problem is that the old guard still running everything is getting so old they can't participate but they can still vote new ideas down. One of these days. . . They hold tight to the way things used to be done and see no reason to change. They have run off many of our French Canadians friends who wanted nothing more than to display a Canadian flag along with the American Flag, which is legal and done all the time. We do have one now, but hard feelings still abound. This park started primarily with RVers who eventually put in park models. Few RVers remain, most of our residents never owned one now. We come to watch my parents. With my Dad's death this year, my Mom at 91 still wants to come down. Once she decides to sell out, we will no doubt hit the road again.

We do love the weather and the living is cheap. But the open road continues to call!
