Riverpark Square Remarks

Improved Essays
These smells start to flood you nose as you begin to walk around Riverpark Square, RiverPark Square is a small section of downtown Riverfront park. The smells range from the surrounding restaurants, to the rushing river waters, to the metal architecture that was and placed in Riverpark. A place that creates memories is a place that I will continue to go back and visit. I believe that RiverPark Square is filled with smells to remind the people of memories that they have made in the park.
When I hear people talking about being downtown, my mind instantly thinks of all the great smells of the food in Riverpark Square. It is so nice to have the variety of choices, if I am in the mood for Sushi, Mexican, or bistro food. I could go on, and on

Although meatal does not have a necessarily pleasing smell, it still has a smell. This smell guides our attention towards the architecture its self. The two pieces that are featured in Riverpark Square hold a true meaning of memory to me. The first piece are the runners, that are located just outside the the mall, and the second is the two story fountain which you can’t miss. The runners in the park hold a spot in my memory bank because of what they stand for no pun intended, and why they were created. David Govedare the artist created these runners to celebrate the tradition of Bloomsday, and he had this to say “You 're sharing something when you participate in this.” (Sculpture) I really love what he had to say when he was gaining his inspiration. He goes on to say that we are not in it to win, we are sharing and carrying on the tradition, and I love the runners because I have been in sharing the tradition with others for as long as I can remember. When ever I walk past them in the park I smell the metal, and makes me remember the races I have done. Second sculpture is the two story fountain. This one does not give a metal smell, but the smell of chlorine to keep the water clean. And when you drive past it in the summer time you really can’t miss the smell. This fountain adds a little bit of extra excitement for people to enjoy. During the spring, and summer months this fountain is in full blast with its stunning geysers. You can hear all of the screams, and laughter of the children that play in the fountain. I remember when I was a kid you could hear my screams and laughter, and now that I am an adult it brings back memories when I hear such excitement over water. This fountain provides an exceptional escape from the summer heat with a smell of chlorine added to the

    The four stages are: Birth – two years - sensorimotor stage, two years to seven years – preoperational stage, seven years to eleven years – concrete operational stage, and eleven years to fifteen years – formal operational stage. This paper will address a classroom designed to benefit the development of toddlers who are in the preoperational stage (Lefrancois, 2012). Children in the early preoperational stage are extremely egocentric; that is they are unable to think about things from any point of view but their own (McLeod, 2010). Toddlers believe that everyone else sees, feels, and thinks the exact same way as they do.…

    Cities are carefully crafted. Most city planners and engineers would agree that, "Design is about creating spaces for people to enjoy and of course, creating moments where you elevate the spirit, but 'design for good ' is figuring out a program that not only creates better spaces, but creates jobs, new industry and raises the conversation about the way we build" (Cameron Sinclair). Although there are plenty of public places around Santa Clarita worth mentioning, the one that stands out the most to me is Main Street Newhall. Descried by the city's website as "an eclectic shopping, dining and entertainment destination that mixes rustic charm with cosmopolitan appeal. With boutique shopping, fine and casual dining, and Old West heritage, Old Town Newhall is the place to shop, gather with friends and family, and enjoy a day or night out on the town."…

    Dog Around The Block

    In the poem Dog Around The Block, White effectively uses the made up word "smellings" to convey an air of aloofness, which helps to create the carefree and careless mentality of a dog. As “smellings” is not a real word, it throws the reader off, and helps them concentrate more on the feeling of the poem then on what the words themselves mean. This word is uniquely used for a dog’s activity because the dog’s main sense is that of smell. Dogs are constantly being bombarded with smells, much more so that humans and it is what gives them insight into the world. The word itself is much more descriptive to a dog’s sense of smell, regardless of the fact that it is made up.…
