On this episode of Backyard OASIS, host Denise Schwartz has a lovely conversation with Marsha Stone and Norm Hirschfeld about their decision to move from Waltham, MA to Greenfield, MA later in life, despite New England being absolutely chock full of beautiful towns and cities. What should older adults who hope to move later in life look for in a community? Why did Marsha and Norm choose Greenfield as their community? The group touches on how finding like-minded folks, getting involved in city government, and fresh air and gorgeous scenery all came together to make Franklin County their new home. Sometimes a trip to the local food co-op is all you need to determine that some place is the place for you.
