There is this great town with great people...every year in this great town between the months of October to May a phenomenon know as the "Snowbird" comes and feeds off the town. They gather at a new state of the art nesting facility and squawk when anyone tries to enter their territory.
Lovely story huh? Here in
Overton we get a lot of seniors that have homes here and stay here for about 3 to 4 months of the year. They all mostly live in a trailer park called Robbins Nest. They had a senior center within walking distance and a thrift store nearby. Well, they build a new senior center about 1 mile down the road, that has a HUGE banquet hall and a library and classrooms. Needless to say the town is now up in arms. There is no
recreation center here for the KIDS and FAMILIES that stay here 12 months a year....oh that's right, we actually build our lives here. Out of the 2 pools in the community, only 1 might be open this year. Average summer temp is 107... The one gymnastic business might have to close because of BS....no more comment....and the back to the senior center...it only stays open until 2p. So, as a mother to 5 kids and someone that likes to stay up past 2p...why is that only a senior center? Lots has been said and opinions have been expressed in our local paper....Go to www.mvprogress.com... but the true point is...this is a community! Not a snowbird governed paradise that is only here 3 to 4 months of the year! I love seniors...hope to be one someday...but the entitlement is overwhelming.I guess it comes with age, the lack of sharing..we tell our children to share and be kind, but notice with age we become more and more cynical and selfish. Just an opinion....
