Myrtle Beach vs. New York City Picture a beautiful city surrounded by tall skyscrapers soaring into the clouds and the beautiful statue of liberty standing still on the water. You walk down the street passing hundreds of little shops and restaurants, all the while you are taken a back by the breathtaking beauty of the city that you are gazing upon. Now picture laying on the beach at sunset listening to the ocean waves. The air is crisp and the smell of saltwater is bitter sweet. The locations

minutes on roller blades, or a two-minute cruise in your convertible. A small strip of land that is divided as well as the Northwest Ordinances; the clear-cut separation between the groups is inevitable.

Ahlfors and the American mathematician Jesse Douglas. SCIENCE EVENT The Soviet Union launches Sputnik –October 4th, 1957 History was changed with the launch of Sputnik.

I loved the scenery and the feel to the huge park in the middle of the bustling city, and I was excited to go on a bike ride around the park. I bike often on the bike trail next to the beach, so I thought of going with the advanced group. Little did I know there were lots of hills on our path.
