Abbie and I were blessed to be able to grow up in Grand Forks. We decided that we wanted our children to have that same experience. We enjoy seeing the next generation of ‘Grand Forkians’ share the same love of our hometown.
No need to look somewhere over the rainbow; Grand Forks IS the pot of gold!
There is no doubt in our minds that the greater Grand Forks region has the coolest seniors around. Older adults in this area are engaged, active, and lifelong learners. They are committed to giving back to the communities they love and enjoying life to its fullest
After living in three other states post-college as well as other cities throughout North Dakota, Grand Forks has become a special place. One of my favorite landmarks is Belmont Road. When the early evening light hits the windshield just right and I’m almost home between CVIC’s downtown office and my house a few blocks from this enticing street, I almost don’t want sunglasses.
