Longino details the movement of Reti. Rfcs in a new Book retirement a migration in America published by Vacat Ion publications of Houston. Overall Longinous study found that 23 states attracted a larger share of the nation s moving retirees in the period 198590 than in 1975-80. By comparison 17 states stayed the same and 11, including the District of Columbia lost shares. Those that were most successful in the past such As Florida and Quot California a seem to be losing Market share. At the same time North Carolina has gained sharply and Virginia and Georgia moved into the top 10 for the first time. A North Carolina which was in 27th place in 1960, was in the fifth spot with 3.4 percent of movers in the 1990 count. Longino pointed out that most americans stay put when they retire with 84 percent of people age 55 and older saying they want to remain in their current Homes. A a a. A but those who do relocate have become the focus of intense marketing campaigns creating a a Mailbox Economy in retire mint communities whose residents receive a monthly infusion of Cash from pensions investments and social Security. Becoming a retirement Center can be an economic Boon for a state Longino said and the process tends to feed on it self. Once an area becomes known As a retirement Center services move in and it becomes More attractive to retirees a until it becomes too crowded or too old. A California has really become in the last decade More of a sending state than a receiving state. The net balance has retirement migration Florida remains the most popular place to retire to but is losing a Little ground As americans choose retirement Homes in a wider variety of states a new analysis of where americans retire by Wake Forest University researcher Charles Longino jr., shows the following rankings of the states As places for people aged 60 and Over to move when they retire. The states Are ranked according to the percentage of moving retirees who settled there Between 1965 and 1990, followed by their ranking and percentage Between 1975 and 1980. In cases in which states appear to have the same percentage rankings differ because percentages Are rounded off.

London apr the Channel Tunnel has run into a new hurdle or at least some cars trying to use it have. About 100 cars have been damaged a 25 seriously a while driving onto the train for the 32-mile trip under the English Channel. Eur Tunnel which operates the Tunnel says the undersides of Low Slung models such As ferraris and lotuses have scraped against Metal barriers while being loaded. Eur Tunnel spokeswoman Jane Bowles said tuesday that the damaged cars represent Only a fraction of the 90,000 vehicles the Tunnel has carried since opening last year. Most of the Tia Mac has been minor such As broken exhaust pipes she said. The tunnels trains arc made up of double Decker boxcars that each hold eight average size cars. There arc fire Walls Between each Boxcar and retractable Metal barriers to keep vehicles from rolling into the Walls while the train is moving. A a a a a the barriers arc lowered As the  being loaded. But the equipment that houses the barriers is about 3.6 inches High and is not retractable. Before opening for business euro Tun Nel conducted tests using cars in cars carrying five adults and a huge Load of Beer which is what typical passengers were expected to bring Back from France where alcohol taxes arc much lower than in England. But eur Tunnel had apparently not counted on some cars having a ground clearance of less than 4 inches the height at which they can have problems. As a Short term solution eur Tunnel has devised a Small hurdle for cars to drive Over before they Board the shuttle trains. Any car that looks to be too Low is put in the last Wagon and driven in reverse As it exits thus avoiding the Lac Walls. American drops London Philadelphia route London apr american airlines said tuesday that it will abandon service Between London and Philadelphia As it increases its daily flights Between new York and London. American said it would offer seven flights in each direction Between new York and London up from five and would also double services to Boston american began flying the l Hila to Delphia route last year despite objections from competitors who said adding the route made Little geographical sense because american already flies to London from new York and Boston. Competitors accused american of getting the route just to keep it out of their hands. Us air used to Fly the. Route but had to Stop when it entered a partnership with British airways which will now have a monopoly on London Philadelphia flights. American spokeswoman Lizann Pep Pard said tuesday that her Carrier was always serious about Philadelphia settee but that the flights were Only breaking even and expansion elsewhere seemed to be a better idea. A we needed the slots and a remit for other things Quot Peppard said. American will also increase its Lon Don Boston service from once a Day to twice a Day
