How To Describe Millville

Decent Essays
Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love, apparently so much love that every house and buildings are connected. I could literally hear someone sneeze in the houses next to me. There is no grass just concrete sidewalk and one tree for every 10 blocks. A number of restaurants, fast food joints, mom and pop diners, and bars one could eat at a new restaurant every day for the rest of their life.

Hurston, point blank, says that their arguments are pointless except to garner them an audience.…

    I currently reside in Markham, the city is a part of York Region and is located just north of Toronto. I moved there at the end of eighth grade, and since then it has been my hometown. Markham is a boring place to be, rarely does anything eventful ever happens, and there is really nothing to do, there is a mall, a theatre and occasionally there’s a festival, which is pretty much it. This is aided by the fact that crime is low in the city, there are few murders and little robberies, with most notable crimes being the occasional weed deal here and there. Markham is also a quiet place, mainly thanks to a small population, the minimal traffic and lack of pedestrians keeps noise to a minimum.…
