Eldertopia: Sketches From Life at Shady Acres in Bloomington, MN

Medical science, nutrition and good genes have conspired to extend the American mortality rate to a point undreamed of a couple of generations ago. This boon has created ancillary issues - who is to care for these aging phenoms, where can we stow them and what wll they do to entertain themselves? In answer to those questions, retirement homes have become as ubiquitous as Starbucks, Burger King and mattress stores. This book describes the happy times of the blissful residents of Shady Acres Village.
