Pike Place Market in Seattle, is one of my favorite places to visit. It is part of the historic district in Seattle and is only closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas day. The rest of the year you can find a great meal at one of over 80 restaurants, the perfect gift or souvenir from one of their many owner-operated shops, and you can even find food and flowers for your daily home needs.
Pike’s was originally opened as a farmers market in 1907 and today, 110 years later it is so much more than a place to meet the local food growers and purchase local foods. Now you can find crafts, fresh farm foods, and even specialty food stores. The restaurants open first, many of them at 6 am serving a great breakfast to start your day and the fresh seafood
Dan Evins, an oil broker, opened the first Cracker Barrel and gas station in 1969, in rural Lebanon, Tennessee. Today, the town has about 20,000 residents and is still the location of the company’s headquarters. They have expanded to over 600 company-owned stores in 42 states, employ over 60,000 employees, and can be found just off major interstate highways throughout many cities mostly in the southeastern part of the country. Cracker Barrel is widely known for its family atmosphere, southern comfort food and nostalgic country gift stores. The restaurant’s management is socially conservative and their customers tend to be traditional as well.
It was 1742 when the first town hall in Boston was opened. It was named Faneuil Hall which was often referred to as the Cradle of liberty. Faneuil Hall served as a market place and a meeting hall during the mid seventeen hundreds and is still in use now as a public meeting place for the people of boston. It all started when a wealthy Bostonian Merchant named Peter Faneuil came up with the idea of building a marketplace in Boston. After much debate, Boston accepted Faneuil’s proposal. Once it was built, the town government also used the marketplace as a meeting space. The lower lever of the hall was divided into “stalls” which were exclusively for market purposes. In the market, meat, vegetable, and dairy products were sold. On the second floor,

Like many towns in the south, the downtown area keeps its traditional look.The downtown area has most of the original buildings still standing today, but they are not in business.

Much of the deep south, but especially the Pike County and surrounding counties were rural but gradually begin to develop with time. John Lewis described Pike County’s landscape as small communities alongside dirt roads with rolling hills. Before Pike County’s founding in 1821, there was a small-scale number of African Americans residing there. In the 1820s there was a major shift in the area’s populace when the
The ethnic restaurant I chose to visit was El Banditos on Market St. in Iowa City. It is a charming little Mexican restaurant that is filled with all sorts of different characteristics that make it ethnic. I chose to explore this restaurant because of how unknown and underrated it was. I personally have never noticed or heard of it before. It is across the street from Blue Bird Diner which many people have been to and not many of them would be able to identify that this restaurant is just across the way. The small atmosphere and authentic feel of the restaurant was evident before one enters the establishment. It also had a very promising menu online that made me want to visit. El Banditos can be classified as an ethnic restaurant because

Young Goodman Brown and the Lottery Symbolism Use In: "Young Goodman Brown" and "The Lottery" The authors, Shirley Jackson and Nathaniel Hawthorne, both frequently use symbols within their stories "The Lottery" and "Young Goodman Brown." Symbols are utilized as an enhancement tool to stress the theme of each story. Hawthorne uses names and objects to enhance the theme, and Jackson mainly utilizes names to stress the theme, although she does have one object as a symbol of great importance to the theme. The stories both contain symbols describing evil. The majority of Hawthorne's symbols describe religion (both good and evil), but Jackson’s symbols reflect the evil nature within society as a whole. There exists a symbolic act in each story.
The World Famous Pike Place Fish Market John Yokoyama started working for Pike Place Fish in Seattle, Washington, in 1960. At age 25, he used all his savings to purchase the unsuccessful business. He spent the next 20 years running the Pike Place Fish Market, but he says in retrospect that he treated his employees more like objects or collateral than human beings. He made a living, but his business did not thrive. Finally, he realized his thoughts, feelings and attitudes were hindering his success.

Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana, is no different from any other metropolitan area. When visiting Indianapolis, tourists can take advantage of professional sporting events, prestigious museums, and affordable family activities.
Many seem to see the violence against Matthew Shepard as a hate crime, which I agree with. Everything pointed to, from testimonies to evidence, shows that he was attacked due to his sexual orientation; however, the perpetrators, Aaron McKinney and Russel Henderson, didn’t even know Matt prior to the night of the incident, so how’d they know if he was gay or not? They reacted to his performance in a way that was consistent with their own learned gender performances. This theme of prejudice was a crime fueled by hate, but facilitated by gender performance.
