[Magdalen] Safely home

[Jim Guthrie]

One of the larger cohorts of people moving to new York City (After immigrants 
and newly-minted college graduates are people from the Sunbelt -- Retirees who 
have lost their spouses and are no longer able to drive, play golf or run the 
boat. So these (usually 80-somethings) move to a small apartment above the 
grocery store in Manhattan (well, maybe 20 floors above the grocery <g>).

Everything they need -- medical services, shopping movies, shows, concerts, 
church -- are all a subway or bus or taxi ride -- or a brisk walk away.

Of course the lagniappe is often that their grand children or great 
grandchildren are in the city as well (and might crash at Grandma's for a week 
between roommates <g>.

And they can get great meals delivered 24/7/365 by picking up the phone.

Cheers,
Jim
