To help caregiver wining they need it
very quite, friendly, had no problem in 19 years
Tupelo would be an age friendly place because the people tends to be with their age groups this sums all about the age friendly and unfriendly topics. In the community, we have barbecues at time but they do it on their premises. Others maybe invited but usually do not stay in the community. Most everyone in my community works. Education is another topic. Education seems to be a challenge since there are people that goes to the college branch here, some goes to other schools. Transportation is a must. Every household has their own transportation which is great. Downtown is just a skip and a hop. So, there are plenty places to visit.
Tupelo is a retirement city.
