The Villages are located in Central Florida, in three counties: Sumter County, Lake County, and Marion County. A huge retirement enclave created to make its wealthy inhabitants’ final years a bit more pleasant. After all, as everyone here believes, it’s what they deserve after decades of hard work. Valerie Blankenbyl was a guest in The Villages. Between drinks, golf courses, and karaoke bars, she witnesses a feel-good inebriation that knows of an end, but no tomorrow.
