But the single most important reason to go there is that is where the "greatest generation" decided to retire. THAT is the reason it's so special. Go to the garage sales, and you will meet the greatest people on earth. People who will practically give you stuff, but have to charge a quarter or so. After all its the principal. We are losing many every day. Take a ride over and see for yourself, it's as close as we will ever get to "Bailey Park".

What is Bailey Park?

I like when people call part of our group here the greatest generation. I tried calling part of us the ethical generation a couple of days ago and got a bit of flack. I like good things said about seniors of all ages because I am a senior. I don't know how that happened. Yesterday I was a kid.

But I know the flack givers will get older and things will look differently.

I thought I knew how to raise children perfectly too, before I had any.
