"Are you nervous to move to Little Rock?" My friend asked. As I was packing me belongings. I was nervous,I grew up in San Diego. having visited many states but never in the south.I grew up in San Diego and the thought of being in Little Rock it was going completely different. But now that I've been in Little Rock for almost a year, To my surprise I have found similarities in both cities. San Diego and Little Rock are both great cities. For families and college students. But they are different when it comes to environment, standard of living, and job opportunities. Little Rock and San Diego have a similar environment. They are both big cities and highly populated. Cities like these tend to have a higher rate of crime, real estate, and traffic. Many highly populated cities share these similar traits. In San Diego. The crime rate is lower but has more of a traffic problem than Little Rock. Even though Little Rock is highly populated it stills has a smaller feel to it. And has less of cultural diversity than San Diego. In San Diego every neighborhood is mixed with different ethnicitie...

  • The Well Known Rivalry of Cincinnati

    1439 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are always different areas and beliefs in big cities, but in some cities they are taken to a whole new level. Everyone is proud of where they are from naturally, whether it’s in regards to their sports team, schools, or maybe a famous product that originated from there. There is a very well known divide in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, where there seems to be a highway or street creating an invisible line. Cincinnati is well known for its education, food, and the diverse lifestyles one may be able experience in the rather large suburban area. If someone asks a Cincinnatian where they’re from, they will proudly respond with either the Westside or Eastside! Common phrases one may hear are, “Westside best-side or Eastside money-side.” It’s not necessarily true that someone is considered good or bad due to their response; it’s just a pride factor to them.

  • Costa Mesa Newcomers Guide

    903 Words  | 2 Pages

    Moving to a new community is exciting, especially one that’s as vibrant as Costa Mesa. Its Spanish name reflects its geographical feature, literally a coastal tableland that affords views of the Pacific Ocean, just one mile from its southernmost border. It is an ideal location with easy access to nearby Irvine and Anaheim, and only 37 miles for Los Angeles and less than 90 miles to San Diego – great for commuting to employment centers, shopping, entertainment, recreation and cultural attractions. Costa Mesa’s proximity to the Santa Ana River made it historically important to earlier settlers and cattle ranchers. Today, that same advantageous location makes Costa Mesa a major player in Orange County, attracting businesses and visitors. It is celebrated as “The City of the Arts,” the capitol of the actions sports industry, and home of Orange County’s top 20 revenue-generating retail centers.

  • The Importance of Going Away to College

    It has been said that the grass is always greener on the other side. Being excited about the newness and challenges of a new place may not enable it to stay green for a lifetime, but the new place is a great place to spend the next four years. So even though I lived my whole high school life in one city where there were no actual problems, it still was time for me to move where there were new experiences.

This description expresses my reasons that make a small, normal city into a place that I proudly call my hometown.

  • Comparing Maryland and Texas

    863 Words  | 2 Pages

    “You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective.” (Stone, 1962) The words stated prior by William Clement Stone have never proved to be more accurate. A person’s place of living, whether chosen, suggested, or forced, has a great affect on their future years to come. Depending on a person’s environment, they can succeed or fail; linger around or progress. The further proceedings do not serve the purpose to “knock” or bring shame or favor to one geographical area. Though every state has its pros and cons, one may highly favor one state over the other. In my case, I fancy Texas over Maryland. The topics that had a heavy impact on my decision were the similarities and/or differences in education, food, hospitality, medical care, and history.

  • Urban Sprawl Case Study

    1065 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many households who work in Irvine found it nearly impossible to buy or rent homes in Irvine. This not only affects the current economics of the city but the future as well. Many young educated professionals are faced with the choice to either move out of state or continue to work in Irvine but live in the Inland Empire areas of Riverside and San Bernardino where housing is much more affordable. However, this causes greater strains on the existing regional transportation system and longer commutes (Eliason and Trauth 2006).

  • Admissions Essay: The Plain Truth

    509 Words  | 2 Pages

    All of my life I have been a city girl, but I moved to Santa Rosa when I was about 13. Up until I was about 16, I lived there permanently. I used to switch back and forth from parent to parent all of the time. When I first started high school, I went to Piner High and, in my junior year, I went to Montgomery and, from there, to a continuation school. I am currently now back at Piner. I had to basically kick and scream to get back into my regular high school--as you can see there is some drama behind the scene.

  • Comparison Texas And Houston Texas

    880 Words  | 2 Pages

    Only 120 miles divide and connect one of the largest cities in the country and a small south Texas town and the differences and similarities in the transportation, retail shopping, and educational choices in these communities. Houston Texas is the fourth largest metropolitan city in the country with a network of highways and freeways, a variety of retail areas, and several school systems within the city. Victoria Texas is not even half the size of Houston and definitely a more rural community with a slower paced traffic system, fewer retail shops, and a much smaller school system. More than miles separate these two Texas communities and what they have to offer the people that live in those communities.

  • Urban Life vs. Rural Life

    858 Words  | 2 Pages

    Imagine having to choose to reside in one place for the rest of your life. Which would you opt for? Some people would argue that the hyperactive lifestyle that a big city has to offer has more benefits than living in the country. However, others would contend that the calm and peaceful environment of the countryside is much more rewarding. Several people move from the city to a farm to get away from the hustle and bustle. Likewise, some farmers have traded in their tractors and animals to live a fast paced city life. Of course, not all large cities are the same nor are all of the places in the country identical. Realizing this, ten years ago, I decided to hang up the city life in Indiana to pursue a more laid back approach to life in rural Tennessee. Certainly, city life and life in the country have their benefits, but they also have distinguishable differences.

  • Compare And Contrast My Neighborhood

    1286 Words  | 3 Pages

    The two neighborhoods that I chose to use for this assignment are vastly different. The main reason is because they are on opposite sides of the country. The first neighborhood that I visited is the one that I grew up in. This neighborhood is in Connecticut, on the East Coast, all the way across the country from the neighborhood that I currently live in here in West Hollywood. Most of my family lives in Connecticut and Massachusetts and I’m the only one who lives on the West Coast. A big difference is that the neighborhood in Connecticut has houses that are more spaced out, have larger lawns, and very many more trees. There are very few apartments there, unlike where I live now where my entire street is almost all apartment buildings.

  • Living in the City vs. Living in the Country

    567 Words  | 2 Pages

    One major issue affecting many people trying to make the decision on where to live is their quality of life in either extreme. Health, education, transportation are three major concerns that many consider. In a city, pollution surrounds you wherever you step whether on the streets of a busy financial district or on the lawn of a large park. Pollution could possibly cause health problems later in life. In the country, pollution is scarce. Fresh air, rolling green hills, a few pieces of litter here and there but pretty much everything is clean, and wow! No smog, you can see the stars! In the country, childhood education, kindergarten through twelfth grade, is significantly better than in a large city; smaller class sizes and larger budgets create excellent learning environments. In cities, public schools are often plagued with very large classes packed into small spaces. Teachers with low pay, and little or no dedication are thrown into classrooms to teach, resulting in poor education. Transportation is very accessible in city environments. Public transportation, by way of subways, busses and ferries, are cheap and easy ways of getting around a metropolis, whether going out to work, school, or for a night on the town. In the country, everyone needs to have access to his or her own vehicle. A commute to work or school is about an average of forty-five minutes!
