Different Views On Politics, Religion, Or What 's Best You Do On Your Free Time?

I have lived in only one location my entire life: Edwardsville, Illinois. A peripheral suburb of St. Louis, it stands as the rare oasis of people in a desert of corn, pinned in its own personal bubble. Due to this blend of time and isolation, I developed a natural familiarity with my hometown. But, throughout my childhood, I longed to break free from the confines of the bubble and venture outward. However, this changed last summer, as I walked through Richards Brickyard, our family heirloom, that my great-grandfather, Benjamin Richards, founded over 120 years ago. I felt these childlike sentiments slip away. The bubble that had surrounded me for so long began to vanish, and the picture that it had been obscuring was slowly revealed.

In my early years, I hadn't given much thought to the depth of this city, only knowing bits and pieces of the puzzle that I was trying to put together in my head. However, as the years went by, I grew accustomed to the city, its people, and its ways. This city influenced and shaped my persona into the individual I am today. This city taught me a great deal of what

Growing up south of town gave me an appreciation for my neighbors and a desire to see everyone succeed. My neighbors were always friendly and waved when we drove by. They were always welcoming whenever I needed their help.

Growing up in the small town of Pocahontas, Iowa gives appreciation to the simplicity of tight-knit communities. With a population of 1,800 people, there is single café where local farmers enjoy a morning cup of coffee while discussing the news. Rural communities are a place where children have birthday parties at the local pizza place and teenagers’ first jobs are as detasslers. As a child, your mother knows if you got in trouble at school before you return home and everyone’s name is well known throughout the area.

If Iowa was the only state in the United States, what city would you live in

In my research I discovered that the town of Silver City have close neighboring towns around their surroundings, such as Bayard, Hurley, Santa Clara, Cliff and Hanover etc. All these different towns are just few miles away from each other and most people interconnect between towns in their related activities such as school, Medicare and work. Another, interesting fact about Silver City in particular is the progress of some major agencies in the town, and people view Silver City as the big town that provides some of the needed resources to other

The City of DeWitt has been named a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation to honor its commitment to its community forest. It is the twelfth year DeWitt has received this national recognition.

They are two places that had a great impact on my life and molded me to become the person I am today. Those places are West Hempstead, NY where me and my family live now and the other is Rosedale,Ny where I lived until the age of 13. West Hempstead and Rosedale are both well known towns in New York. They are both in the region of Long Island. Even though both towns are in the state New York and only are 20 minutes away from each other these two towns are extremely different from the residents, cost of living,and safeness.

I chose Wisconsin as my state to talk about. There are many cultural influences in this state. There is an Indo-European and Native American cultures. I will break some of these down throughout this paper. I will start talking about how some towns are named after landscapes and then move on to towns named after people. We will also take about the Native American tribal influences, and occupational towns.

Although the urban-rural divide in the state of Maine seems overwhelmingly prevalent on an economic and industry standpoint, these divides don’t really divide the people. The, “Two Maines,” are not in competition with one another, both centers encourage the advancement of the state collectively and promote the growth of the state as a whole rather than a single county or city. The betterment of Maine as a whole supersedes the advancement of any one place, and continuing the idea that there are, “Two Maines,” does nothing to actually address the problems that each of these unique places struggle

The community of Allen Park according to my mom, was very engaged and had created the belief that all cities had been like that. She stated that everyone had knew each other, living within Allen Park during the time period that she had lived in. In her youth early age throughout high school she felt

Upland, Nebraska; population 143. This is where I grew up. Might as well call it Nowhere, USA. Everyone else does. There is a small store, a small post office, a small diner, a small church, a small park, and a whole lot of small houses. The people here are all racist, all Christian, and all stuck. The school is a half hour drive away in Minden, as is the closest hospital, and pool. Let’s not mention how far away a mall is.

For Christmas and my sixteenth birthday present my parents planned a trip for me to go to New York City with my dad. Two days after Christmas me and my dad hopped on the plane and headed for New Jersey and New York City. I was very excited because I had been to New Jersey but I never visited New York City before. I also remember being excited because of that fact that I would actually get to see snow in the winter since it rarely ever snowed in Houston during the winter. Then that next year during my junior year in High School, I had the opportunity to go on a trip to Los Angeles with my drill team. I was very excited to get to go to both of these huge awesome cities in that two year period. Both of these cities were unique in their own way. So what makes a city similar to another city and what makes a city different to another city? The people, the weather, the vibe, the monuments and popular attractions are all some of the components of what makes a city unlike any other city. My two favorite cities besides Houston are New York and Los Angeles. I have visited both and like them both equally for different reasons. While New York and Los Angeles definitely have their similarities, they also have many differences that set them apart from each other.

O’Fallon, where you decide which of the hundred restaurants you’ll go to tonight, deciding between target or walmart, shcnucks or dierbergs, if you need something you have three options on where to go to get it all within five miles of each other. Where the Zumwalt school districts are in constant rivalry as to who’s team is the best this year. You can get gas at any corner and if that station isn’t good enough cross the street to one of the other two. A neighborhood on every side of the road. All the houses sit on their small green lawns with a tree in the front, shutters that match the door with a mailbox out by the street. O’Fallon is the definition of a suburban town. Everything is right next to each other and the convince of whatever

Over all there are some similarities between both locations with big differences. But for each lives there is lovers who cannot switches lives to the other city, at the end, I see that Living in a village near the city is the best way to combine the benefits of this two lives.
