Great Transportation. Lot of places for Retirement and students to live. Great Education and Jobs.
It makes it age friendly because you get to know people from all different ages and get to have a good relationship with them, get to know them for who they are.
You can tell if a place is age friendly by the number of benches that are available for individuals to rest upon. In Tallahasseeorida, if you are in a shopping area, there are many opportunities to sit down and rest for a minute. The same is at the mall. This would not be noticeable to the younger generations, but at 56 it is very obvious Tallahassee cares about its elders.
Tallahassee is a age friendly place I grew up in Leon county and lost of our retiree resident at West Minister out

My landlord does not like fixing things. My neighborhood could look better and offer more, but it doesn't.
