Largey's team, the Robins, loses by 17 pins, and she is determined to avenge herself in the next game. Such outbursts might not be expected from folks over 60, but the residents of Greenbriar I are having too much fun to notice. Every bowler to a one has only positive things to say about life in retirement, particularly at Greenbriar I, which, at 30 years, is the oldest senior village in Brick. Brick is home to a dozen such communities, including Cedar Village and Wedgewood Place, both under development in the Herbertsville section, says Bryan Dickerson, a town spokesman says. An aerial photo looking to the east shows the sprawling Greenbriar area in the northern part of the township.
Age is the only eligibility requirement for living in most of the villages.
Residents must be at least 55. Most senior communities also offer a number of daily activities. Greenbriar II has everything from line dancing on Tuesdays to Tai Chi on Fridays. The president of the bowling league sums up what everyone seems to express. But ever since I did, I'm glad I did.
