Provisions made for the elderly to commute on public transportation as well as to enter certain buildings. More can be done to provide easier employment opportunities for those who are seniors but still have the capacity to contribute to the society.
It's just the vibe from the city it's a very vibrant city
Some of the people drive really fast up and down our street it's a busy street with a high school on it.
There are plenty of assistant living homes with caring caregivers.
Very nice people
