My
husband and I moved to rural Henry County in
1985. The milder climate, manageable cost of
living and sensible property values/taxes
were attention-getters and influenced our
decision to locate here. After settling in,
we really became aware of the wide choice of
opportunities to get involved in activities
and organizations which especially
interested us. People here are friendly and
churches are welcoming. Essential shopping
and medical care are available.

We
retired to Paris, TN from Philadelphia, PA
in 1987 and have been very pleased with our
decision. Comparing this city with 12 other
communities (6 states) in which we have
lived, Paris is the "BEST". The city and
county municipal services, the taxes,
utilities, health care, civic clubs,
churches and facilities for the arts are
more than just acceptable. The community is
a giving, caring and friendly center beyond
what most would expect. One cannot retire in
Paris without becoming involved and loving
the place.

After
40+ years in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex,
I no longer hear airplanes taking off day
and night. I can hear the clock strike the
hour on the courthouse clock. I know people
everywhere I go. The mention of God in the
media is not unusual. From our den, we watch
the brightest array of birds imaginable. The
wail of a siren is unusual enough that the
dogs frequently howl with it (never in Texas
because it blended in with the background
noise). The sky is so blue. I don't see the
horizon as being brown. My shoulder surgery
couldn't have turned out better anywhere
else. Gerry (my wife) and I frequently look
at each other and remark how glad we are
that we are here.

Paris/Henry County, TN has been where we
call home for the past thirteen years. The
weather is wonderful, the fishing good and
best of all, the people are friendly and
helpful. The cost of living is also
reasonable. One never runs out of things to
do, as many of the organizations and the
library have many programs that are
available to all. Living here has been all
that we have expected our retirement to be.
We have movies, a live theater, bowling
alley, water aerobics and many other senior
activities and some of the good old south
cooking in our restaurants.
