Former Towne Primary School in Medina would be ideal for senior living apartments

Some of my fondest memories are from the six years I spent attending Towne Primary School.

Singing outside on the steps in the back courtyard, the awesome playground that for many years I enjoyed taking my granddaughters to!

Would it not be an impressive home for our senior residents? I can see the playground being adored our seniors and their families, children coming to the courtyard or the library for a story hour! How about a cooking class?

Our young people may enjoy the time spent with a senior. I believe there may be young people, even us older adults would enjoy learning cooking skills (a pinch of this and a dash of that) including myself!

I believe the possibilities are endless. I would love to see the building come alive. Medina has witnessed the recent beautifications of the Bent’s Opera House and the Walsh House!

I know in my heart Towne School on Bates Road could be a perfect home for our seniors.

Just an idea!
