Life Scope

All aboard for 'Fun Town'
Sex, drugs and Viagra-fueled parties - this is not your typical retirement community. Welcome to The Villages in Florida. It's just another Saturday night at Katie Belle's Resident Club in central Florida. A cover band pumps out chart toppers from days gone by as liquored up party-goers crowd the dance floor.
