My neighborhood is friendly.
Most people I'm around are friendly my neighbors are mostly elderly & very friendly we look out for one another.
Indianapolis is my home town and have lived here most of my life. Due to a job loss last year, it has been very difficult to find another job. I have experienced much age discrimination despite having the qualifications and skills needed for the positions. I now work two jobs and barely get by every month and not even close to retiring. For the first time in my life, I am considering leaving Indy and going somewhere else where they hopefully do not discriminate.
