mind, a lot of neighborhoods need help; what makes Cully so special? Everyone keeps talking about it, but I don’t see what the big deal is. As time went on, I began to hear more about Cully, and it began to spark my interest. I began to read articles and stories from and about this neighborhood; they all mentioned the same thing: Cully is Oregon’s most diverse neighborhood (Cusack). According to Jane Jacobs, diversity is one of the five major building blocks of successful neighborhoods, so Cully’s diversity
I have lived in the same trailer park my whole life. As a result I have had to deal with people treating me differently after they found out where I lived. Many people jumped to the conclusion that I was poor. Although at times money has been tight, I would never classify myself as poor. My family has always been able to provide for me. Other people assumed that my family must be living off of Welfare. I can also say that my family has never received Welfare. Despite the fact that some people match
Castle Valley There are two general possibilities within Castle Valley. Option A is in the heart of the Castle Valley neighborhood. It is zoned for mixed-use development and allows a substantial amount of commercial square footage. The other option is closer to the Clubhouse Drive-Castle Valley Boulevard intersection, the confluence of the Castle Valley and Lakota neighborhoods. Zoning and the matter of possible entitlements aside, Option B may be a better location for a town center should the
followed my dad around the neighborhood. I remember peddling past the library, stopping to get a donut at the supermarket, through parks and toward my tiny preschool, Evergreen Christian. When I still lived in Alger Heights I was too young to understand the story of the neighborhood and the social sciences involved in this community, so when my group chose this neighborhood I was excited to learn more about the community I was raised in. I returned to the neighborhood a few weeks ago and instead
living in a neighborhood like Little Village has its advantages and disadvantages but I love living here and getting to know down town Loop gives me more of an idea how different the two are. I don’t know everything there is or every single routine that happens in the Loop but I know a bit and knowing a lot living here I can talk about the differences between the neighborhoods and I have been living here my whole life which is eighteen years. The contrast will show how the neighborhoods are different
discovered first hand as well as through statistical data that compares and contrasts the neighborhoods of Greenbush and Burke Heights, both located in Madison, Wisconsin. When researching these two neighborhoods, I focused on the neighborhoods housing statistics, demographics of their residents, and the money circulating within the neighborhoods. Another aspect I paid attention to while comparing the neighborhoods was the economic and employment opportunities available within the communities. These
Where you grow up decides what you are going to be for the rest of your life. To describe the neighborhood that I grew up in, a lot had to do with the environment that was around us. I grew up with my brother who taught me a lot about how to behave around people and at school. Anyways very early on in our childhood we became best friends with the neighbors down the street “the Johnson’s”. My good friend was Louie who is a year younger than me and my brother George hung out with Riley who was a year
felt if I were a student there, I could only imagine trying to find my way in such a large campus. After looking at the school, I began to drive around the area near the school. The first area I explored was a small neighborhood situated behind the school. The houses in the neighborhood modest, and all of the yards seemed to be
Where I live is one of the greatest neighborhoods in the city to live in; however it does have its draw backs. Importantly it has nearly everything a resident might want, beautiful picturesque scenery, proximity to shopping, and many of the cultural centers. Nevertheless the roads can be some of the most congested in town, and the streets are not safe to walk late at night. Fortunately, I wake every morning to the most beautiful sun lit house. I sit on my porch sipping coffee, while I drink in

It is deeply rooted in Judaica culture, as apparent along the streets lined with Jewish delis, bakeries, grocery stores, and synagogues.
