The senior citizen takeover of NYC might start with a playground, but it won't end there: the city's working on all kinds of programs for the old folks who will make up 15 percent of the city's population in 2030. These include personal shoppers at Fairway, better street drainage so no one will have to jump over puddles in their walkers, and aging-improvement districts in East Harlem and on the UWS, where there will be age-friendly store window stickers, large-print menus, and elderly resident happy hours. We thought the Early Bird Special already took care of that? [NYT; previously]
