Good Place To Retire "THE FRIENDLIEST CITY IN THE
-
2/26/2008
I spend my days in the little town of Luverne, Alabama talking to careing friendly perople where there is still a sense of small town America. A good hosital and doctors who most likely grew up in the county or nearby and "came home" to practice. Our mayor knows most everyone by their first name and if their kids came home for Christmas or not. Quaint little stores down town are wakeing up again and takeing on a new life in an old time way. The Police Department is allways standing there to help no matter your needs. Sometimes they just want to know if all is fine out your way. Luverne's Fire Department sits ready to help save life, or property. They allways go the extra mile to make sure that you are"doing o.k." My recently aquired husband from out of town wanted to know if I knew everyone I met on the highway? I laughed and said you do that when you live here. Now his hand is constantly in motion. He has been here less than two years and recently opened a little coffee shop "Stimy's". First they gather at one of several other "breakfast places" From the second coffee on people come and go yelling at each other teaseing, laughing about some escapade of delight or shareing a tear when sadness does come to call. If a person has a need someone and most everyone spreads the word. Help comes and sometimes the receiver knows not from where it came.Hunting , fishing, camping and sports galore are yours to enjoy. The cost of liveing is under the national average yet there are jobs and fair wages. Good houseing at lower prices than you can find most anywhere is available. We don't have too much of a traffic problem .Local schools puplic and private with quality , careing well educated teachers make sure our children have bright futures. A small branch of a state college is waiting for those who need to stick close to home and Troy University is just twenty five minutes away. I don't know why anyone would want to live anywhere but Luverne, Alabama 36049. This is a great place to retire or raise a family.
