Native New Yorker likes ‘where I am now’
Having lived in New York for much of his life, Kurt Grevenberg is comfortable in his new surroundings.
“I’m a native New Yorker. Lived there the first 40 years of my life. My friends liked to call me THE New Yorker. I lived that New York lifestyle.
“It’s weird to think that I’m not in an apartment anymore. I’m driving instead of taking a train all the time. Most of my friends back home still can’t believe I moved here. But I think you come to that point in your life where you need a change. That kind of lifestyle ran its course for me, never mind the expense of living in New York City. I’m much more comfortable these days.
“When I was younger, I’d go to a sports bar to watch the World Series or attend a Black Sabbath concert when they came to town or something. These days, I’m just much happier sitting in my yard, drinking a beer and watching the sun set. That’s where I am now, and I’m fine with that. I prefer it.”
