Rob and I found this beautiful Spanish style 20's club chair at Goodwill in the heart of Pasadena's antique row. It was like $180.00. We weren't sure if we LOVED IT, so we went and had breakfast to think about this purchase. We decided that we'd buy it if it was still there, and it was after several hours. We managed to squeeze it into our trunk with a the help of a random stranger, who used his new to him belt that he just bought to help tie it down. When I offered him money, he refused and…

the suburbs of Minnesota and working in Minneapolis, after graduating from Luther College. I want to eventually move to Denver, Colorado or Seattle, Washington. According to Forbes magazine, Denver ranks second and Seattle seventh, among the best cities for new college graduate to reside. The rankings are based on the number of jobs per resident, the percentage of millennial residents, the unemployment rate and the median rent for a 2 bedroom apartment. One of the best value the recent…

2 cities life's compared Although there are several similarities between Houston and San Antonio cities, there are many obvious differences between them as mention in this essay. Having the experience to live in two different cities gave me different perspectives of each one. In my opinion, San Antonio is way better than Houston for many, many reasons. San Antonio and Houston have many different type of attractions. First off San Antonio owns a river called “river walk”, families and couples…

I wanted to tell you about something I learned about in class this year. It was where cities were turning empty rundown lots and United Spaces in cities into green spaces, small parks and small gardens. I think this idea is marvelous. It takes an abandon lot in a small park or a community gardens. Everyone in that community would benefit from this idea. People in the area can take advantage of the garden, they would have food that is health for them, and they would take pride in it because…

This particular movement has played a major role in shaping the American city today.

If you could place a dot on a map of a typical white suburb it would be Tempe, Arizona. I grew up here and so did my parents and neighbors. Tempe, Arizona is all I know because it is the only thing I have seen and heard of. Don’t get me wrong Tempe is a strong community, but it is like everyone is trapped here.I like to call my community a bubble. In this bubble I was raised it has shaped me to be different from everyone in my environment. I am going to give you a little background on Tempe.…

continues to show signs of urban growth. This inevitable expansion calls for the implementation of sustainable urban growth in the watershed. Related to this point, Wu (2010) argues that “If the creation of cities is one of the most remarkable human achievements to date, developing sustainable cities may well be the grandest challenge to humans ahead. No recipe is available, but it seems certain that science needs to play an instrumental role in this endeavor” (para. 7). We stand at a historic…

sum up the great recession: we're still feeling the ripple effect. Many cities have been reduced to rubble where there was once great industry and a thriving community with a promise of a greater, more successful tomorrow. The American dream of owning a home, cars and property reduced to nothing more than just that, a dream. As we witnessed in Anthony Bourdain's documentary, "Parts Unknown": Detroit, one of the greatest cities of progress and manufacturing now covered with graffiti and littered,…

San Luis Obispo, CA: City Review In my early thirties, my family and I moved to San Luis Obispo, CA. We lived on Foothill Blvd. for just over 5 years. While we loved the city, we felt we were just a little too close to the college.
