May 2020

moved there recently and they said the articles I have read on DU from the Tampa Bay Times and sent to them are exaggerated as are my concerns for their health. They said those big social group activities that they are known for are being canceled and people aren't partying in their homes as reported. I don't buy it though. All they talk about is the golf courses, the dances, etc (and they don't even golf). I think they have been taken over by Pod People.
