This town is age friendly because everyone greets each other people are very pleasant and like to help others. This is my hometown I remember a couple year ago an older lady walking down the street with a cart full of grocery's and I remember seeing a young man run down her way to help her which was very generous of him.
New Britain is very age friendly because it has a bunch of extracurricular activities for various age ranges. Such as after school programs for younger kids or bingo nights for the elderly.
