Attack of the Old Folks Home

By: Mr. Wilson on September 11, 2007
Much to the displeasure of their knew kneighbors, AgeMark's new assisted living center in the Knolls near 27th and Old Cheney was approved by the City Council. I hate to beat a dead horse, but I still don't understand why an Alzheimer's facility is a threat to any neighborhood. "Old folks homes" -- to group them broadly -- are among the best neighbors you could possibly hope for. I think sometimes people just like to be cranky.

I agree. But I suppose if I thought I had a shot at preventing development on a large chunk of green space across the street from my house I might try, too.

But also knowing that it would be an old folk’s home, versus something much less desirable, I might just keep my mouth shut and count my blessings.
