Life in Reno, Nevada vs. LIfe in Missoula, Montana I have been living in Reno for my entire life. I’ve grown accustomed to everything it has to offer, and I am comfortable in Reno. But in June, when my life switches from suburban life to a lush, green, 20-acre property, I am going to notice that Reno and Missoula have similarities, but my life will be very, very different. Let’s start with the size of the towns. In Reno, the population is 245,255 people and counting. Reno is 106 square miles, giving it a population density of 2,313 people per square mile. In Missoula, on the other hand, has 72,364 people. Missoula is 30 square miles, giving it a population density of 2,412 people per square mile. I will be going to Frenchtown High School …show more content…
In Reno, we have to drive about 3 or 4 minutes to start seeing more commercial buildings like the library and the apartments that are being built. In Montana, that number will go up. Aside from a little pub 5 or so minutes from my house, it takes a good 15 minutes to see anything but trees, barns, and grass (and maybe some cows). In Reno, I can hop in the car and arrive at a grocery store in minutes, to get whatever it is we decide we want to eat. In Montana, we will be needing (and wanting) to do that a lot less. We will have chickens, which will satisfy our ever-continuing love for eggs, minus the grocery store (and whatever else they put on store bought eggs). Our garden will be out main supply of fresh fruits and veggies, which will cut down on store time (and grocery money spent). Of course, we won’t be able to have all the food we desire right outside our door, so we will still have to go to the grocery store sometimes. The point is, in Montana, a lot of the food we want we are providing for ourselves, which will save time and money (and emergency trips to the store when we need eggs for a …show more content…
In Reno, I see sagebrush as far as the eye can see. Blue mountains in some of the background, brown mountains in other parts. The weather is incredibly unpredictable, but I usually expect dry, hot summers and snowy (but not too snowy), chilly winters. In Montana, especially in the summer, you can look around from our property and see green grass, tall pine trees, a beautiful fork of Nine Mile Creek, and a big blue sky. I can expect more mellow, humid summers and freezing cold, snowy winters. In Reno, my animal sightings usually include bunnies, birds, and the occasional deer or coyote. In Montana, you can see bears, elk, antelope, and even moose, right from our house. Overall, the summer climate in Montana is usually more desirable, though some people may prefer the winters in
New Hampshire brings to mind serene forests, large moose and deer lurking behind the heavy greenery, miniscule towns with all familiar faces, and pale colored wooden homes with dark smoke emanating from the brick chimneys in the colder months. For the first 13 years of my life I lived within the state, and I look back fondly on it. I especially enjoyed how distinct
Hawaii and Wyoming are two states often visited because of the variety of activities they offer. Even though both states appear different, they actually do have similarities. Hawaii is a tropical island with a moderately warm climate year round. Because of its climate, visitors generally enjoy outside activities. Wyoming is a landlocked state that usually has cooler climate. However, in the summer, it can rival Hawaii for heat. In Wyoming people spend a great deal of time driving around, taking pictures and exploring new “bucket list” places. Also, activities such as hiking, wagon riding, and cookouts allow people to be outside during their visit. [Thesis]: Although both Hawaii and Wyoming have similarities such as amazing
There are a lot of things that I can say about Mississippi. Mississippi is a place that has a lot of heritage from all kinds of culture. and history. The music is wonderful, and the animals are wild.Most of the music today originated in Mississippi.
When I arrived in Dallas, I was legitimately surprised to see that people in Texas were normal. They were not all wearing cowboy hats and boots with pistols tucked into their belts. I was ten years old, and I had just become accustomed to life in Missouri, right after leaving to Texas. Previously, I had moved from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Missouri when my dad’s job relocated us. Then, my dad quit his job and decided to pursue his dreams of owning a cattle ranch because his job had asked he relocate us to White Plains, New York. While his worst nightmare was being forced to live in a crowded, bustling urban municipality, mine included simply moving again.Visions of tumbleweed and desert haunted me the days following his announcement. This
According to the UCR, from 2005 to 2012 Reno, Nevada had an increase in population of 25,737 people, yet between those dates Reno, Nevada showed a decrease of 283 burglaries. As for Sparks, Nevada, the UCR data showed an increase of the population of 8,596 people and just like Reno, Nevada, Sparks, Nevada, showed a decrease of 131 burglaries.
How much of a difference is there in the daily life of a midwesterner compared to an east coast resident? How does one’s life differ in the same country, but across a distance of over 1,551 miles? These factors are what makes one area or another a highly sought after place to live. Comparing my time living in North Kingston, Rhode Island to my time living in Garretson, South Dakota will show that both are great places, but the atmosphere and daily life of Rhode Island really set the two places apart, making it a better place to live.
Where one grows up affects their lifestyle and character; one’s surroundings shape his or her outlook on the world. Many people always say when growing up in the city one will be used to a diverse, hasty going, and exhilarating life; while growing up in the country one will be used to a deliberate, steadier, and bucolic life. Although moving to Mississippi was a dramatic alteration, I can explicitly acknowledges the menaces–death, robberies, and fights–encountered growing up in the city. Therefore, moving to the south may have been a better alternative involving my physical well-being, regardless of the many emotional struggles. Moving down south to Mississippi from Illinois showed me the struggles of coping with racism and prejudice people,
Mississippi’s history tends to be one of the hardest places’ you can come live in the south has a memory of poor culture, slavery, and a soulful music background the history of Mississippi it’s very inspiring a place of true hardship specially for the African American during slavery there were plantations they planted cotton, corn, and other vegetables as they were slaved on these plantations and beaten. They lone for a escape for freedom some of the women were raped by their owner and had mixed- race children they wanted the population to grow so that they could produce more products to support them and their family their job was to serve the owner of the plantation by fixings meals, doing laundry and out in the field and other chores are duties that was demanded upon them finally the 13th Amendment to Ban slavery in Mississippi nearly 150 years after it adoption.
With everyone’s love and desires in the heart of this city, we cannot expand because it is necessary to locate ourselves in a spot that is enjoyable to us. Distance is a big problem for us because our families thrive on the suburban lifestyle because it caters to a frugal lifestyle that can better suit us for the future. Also, we are relatively wealthy in our perspectives because we can afford to feed our kids, house our family, and provide everything necessary for a family to live
There are many beautiful places around the world to live, choosing one is a very difficult decision. There is also a lot of different countries but the United States is where I will stay, even in America, though, there is such a variety of places to live. Savannah, Georgia has caught my eye in many ways but I don’t know if I could ever leave small town Iowa, like Mason City. While considering these two places, I know that there are a few things that I have to keep in mind such as the job outlook, cost of living, things to do, and one of the most important, weather.
Moving from Whittier, California to Laughlin, Nevada has had many obvious differences. I think although these cities only have 270 miles between them they have many more differences than they do similarities. Whittier is a bigger and greener city that has a lot more going on, higher population, and offers a lot to their community. While Laughlin is a really small city where everyone seems to know each other and contains an older crowd of people. These cities have both become my home in different times in my life, here are some of the different things that set apart and distinguish each one.
The State of Arizona is widely known for its dry western weather, beautiful scenery and cactus plantations spread over wide expanses of rock and desert. This makes for the traditional wild west territory. This picture is painted best in Tucson, a bustling city of 1 million that is set against awe-inspiring mountains. Tucson is Arizona's second largest city after Phoenix and has a rich Mexican-Native American heritage and history stemming from its occupation by native Indians. Many people have traveled through this city since its inception in the 18th century. From French merchants to Anglo-American frontiersmen to Indian tribesmen, Tucson can boast a rich and diverse heritage.
In Arkansas, life goes slower for mainly two reasons. The first reason is the weather of Arkansas. During heavy snow or rainy days, businesses slow or even close down because travelling during these type weathers become very dangerous. In California, there is rarely heavy rain or snow so businesses rarely need to close down due to weather problem. The second reason is the population between the two states.
Montana represents hardships or struggles; the characters try to get away from Montana to escape their troubles. “She wants to get out of Montana as quickly as possible” (97). In section two, Mrs. Little Soldier quickly leaves Montana after the death of her daughter. This represents a theme of characters seeing Montana as a reminder of their hard times. David’s family leaves Montana after Frank kills himself to escape the Hayden name.
Montana’s profile is unique and different from the rest of the states. It is the home for two
