While watching the local news channel in Sioux City S. Dak., I was surprised to see an ad for an entire town.
I know that many small towns court retirees, but I had never seen a television advertisement of that type.
I have to say this town seemed great. While a voice-over touted the wonderful heath care available, the parks, the ease of navigating and general over-all friendliness of the townspeople, a series of still photographs showed senior citizens having a fabulous time! Why, they were dancing, strolling through manicured gardens, and chatting in the aisles of the super market. They were also dining in what looked like a four-star restaurant, which you could afford because the cost of living in this adorable town would be minimal, you know. There were even a couple of shots of locals, nubile young ladies, jogging in the park.
Yes, this would be a fantastic village to spend one's golden years in! Who wouldn't want to live there!
As the ad faded away a disclosure came on my T V screen.
