Place is age friendly. Many options for work,Schools and Transportation.
people here are very friendly
I feel that this town is aged and friendly because people care after each other. For example, if I work on the street and I get any discomfort, a good samaritan will walk to me and ask if I do need help and offer assistance. I went to the store and after shopping, I was short of some money for check out; a man walked to me and paid the remaining one. I was amazed and was so grateful to him. I always do the same action when someone is really in a desperate situation. Helping others to me is receiving blessings. For transportation, I have done that even to a stranger. I have also received free rides from strangers. Even though we have to be careful sometimes it's vital to offer assistance or help to those who are really in need. It's easy to differentiate between people that fake from friendly and very nice and kind people.
Its alot of elderly people that live on my street
