In all the time i have work in this little community the older people have always been kind and love to sit and talk about the old days. Their used to be a few that would sit in the store i used to work at and drink coffee and just all sit together for hour talking and laughing. you couldn't help but just stand there and listen to them.
generally the affordable living expenses
More senior friendly community.
The town has all ages of people.
Friendly family oriented town. Small and quiet.
