The City Of Camden, New Jersey

I’ve lived in Chicago almost all my life. There’s a lot of neighborhoods in Chicago; Good and bad. Living on the south side of Chicago most of my life would make you think there’s nothing but violence in the city. Even though Its bad, I enjoy the neighborhood I live in now. The neighborhood I live in is Roseland, but I grew up in Englewood. Both neighborhoods are similar, but they have their differences.

I’ve lived in Dover, New Jersey for my entire life. Although I love it here, Dover seems to have a bad reputation with the well-to-do cookie cutter towns in Morris County. People looking in on us from the outside see a dirty, ghetto place where fights occur daily and drug deals happen in the classrooms. This awful stereotype breaks my heart because as someone who has grown up here, I know that the people in Dover are the most passionate, hard working, and proud people around and they have shaped me to be who I am today.

Baltimore, the largest city in Maryland, is located in the northern portion of the state on the Patapsco River estuary, a division of Chesapeake Bay. The city is self-governing and does not fall within any county. (Baltimore, Md., 2015) The vast majority of this city is poverty stricken, which makes it vulnerable to high crime rates. In the first six months of 2013 Baltimore had reported 117 homicides, with a population of 622, 104, (CITY DATA, 2015) this gives the city a rate of 18.8 per 100,000. It was one of few cities that year to actually see an increase in homicides; it was stated by Their City Police Commissioner that more than half of their homicides were related to drugs. Even though, the amount of violent crimes dwindled in 2013,

This means that Dallas, Texas is safer than six percent of the

“Camden is a city in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. It is located just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia” (Taibbi 1). “Camden was said to be everything about America that worked” (Taibbi 2). Things, events, important people was all Camden. But then, it all went downhill. Corporations moved to other states, factories closed down, and people lost jobs. One of the major reasons why Camden is the way it is now. “Your crime your problem” a saying most people agree on; it shouldn’t be that way (Taibbi 3). Not to mention no actual force of authority. Factors in which if improved would benefit Camden for the better are as follows: more jobs, more .

Can you considered yourself safe even if it the city you were born? Many people are living out in the streets because of violent, outrageous taxes and government corrupt. You’re probably the next one to have that fate. Chicago is your best bet on being the worse city to live.

Some may call Woodbine, the town in Camden that literally has nothing.Yet now living in a city with a stop light around every corner and traffic like Jacksonville during rush hour I tend to miss the middle nowhere. I would literally give anything to be back in this beautiful city every time that 5 o 'clock rush hits in Valdosta. In "da bine" we never had to worry too much about locking our doors or much crime. To this day you will always see everybody at the dollar

A mural is more than just a painting on the wall. Murals bring together a sense of community and make the city a more welcoming place. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word mural means a painting or other work of art that is directly executed on to a wall. In many aspects, murals originated from graffiti, which comes from the Latin word graffio, meaning scratching or scribbling. Mural Arts programs are popping up in cities across the nation. However, I decided to focus on two cities that were closer to home for me. I focused my research on Newark and Asbury Park, New Jersey, in comparison to Philadelphia, PA. All of which, are cities that are not the nicest, but with the help of murals are becoming more welcoming places.

Our next adventure was Brooklyn, NY. Although this borough was just a 20-minute train ride away I never really had many opportunities to visit it. I was excited to visit the borough because growing up I always heard that it had the best food in all of New York City. The borough is also known as Kings County and is home to nearly three million people. This makes Brooklyn the second most populous boroughs in New York. It is said that if the Borough were an independent city it would be the third most populous city in the U.S. (191).

Along with the cities growing popularity as a party location the crime rate has experienced a spike as well. A few weeks ago a young woman was gang-raped on the beach by three suspects in front of hundreds of onlookers causing a national uproar. This uproar has been a catalyst to make the city a safer place to visit.

     The small community of Hasbrouck Heights, NJ is the one square mile home to a comparatively tiny population of approximately 7,600 people, including myself. I live on a residential street of this small suburban town where a great threat of danger and harm has never really been associated with its name. The crime rate on the city-data.com crime index is a minute 35.6 when compared to the U.S. average of 330.6. In the year of 2002 Wood-Ridge did not experience any murders, rapes, or robberies, and only 1 assault, 35 larceny counts, and 7 auto thefts. This is the main reason why all parties who were surveyed either felt very safe or somewhat safe living their lives

Hermes smiled. The city of New York was marvelous. It was the place all travelers yearned for, so naturally it was his home. He sat down in his chair and sighed, “another day of buying stocks, filling out forms, and making calls. I hate mortals.” He went to work, grumbling about secretaries and Mondays, when his intercom buzzed, “Mr.Hermes, a man is here to see you. He claims to be a relative.”
