Belsize Park

With such a deep and sincere love of the historical value of the Bulow Plantation, the state park rangers want to share the vast history that once occurred on the 2,200 acres of cleared land owned by the Bulow family. There are several ways the state park rangers promote the land so that as many people can enjoy it as possible. One of the ways they advertise is by attracting active outdoor people to go on the many hiking trails and bicycling trails or for the water lovers to drop a small…

These two photos were taken in the Seth Low Playground in Brooklyn, and it is around 8 o’clock in the morning. The photos display the diversity of a country. I choose this place is because everyday I take the bus to school pass the playground, I see many people were doing exercise on the playground, and most of them are Chinese. The playground is a convenience for the people who lived around. Many apartments, house and school are around this playground. This playground located in the Bensonhurst…

canine will be playing. You must also ensure that any and all waste excreted by your dog is responsibly and promptly disposed of, or otherwise bagged. Rest assured that in a pinch, you are free to use the doggy litter bags conveniently located at the park itself. Another reason you should visit the Coronado Dog Beach…

around recreational and artistic centers for people. They became seen as major urban amenities” (Williams). The Rural Cemetery Movement greatly expanded green urban space during the mid-1800’s and was instrumental in the development of the Urban Parks Movement.…

A small town called Westford, in New York State, that’s where I resided in for eighteen years of my life. Westford is about two hours of the city. The closest grocery store is thirty minutes away, and the nearest hospital is twenty three miles. Westford is all country in every way. Animals ran wild everywhere. Some of the animals you would see are squirrels, quails, chipmunks, deer, and even bear. They were not afraid of anything, until hunting season. The trees are so tall with many colors, red…

Beginning at the innocent years of childhood, when the world is seen as an imaginative wonderland, children are showered in lies. Fictional characters, such as Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, and the tooth fairy, are used by parental figures to reinforce naivety. Sure, little white lies like Santa Claus seem minute: however, the lying does not halt there. Many schools’ textbooks exploit students to the altered truth behind America’s patriotic past. Fabricated stories about the bombing of…

a whole area dedicated to them is always an area of dismay. I can’t name one area that I have been to with the name of Martin Luther King that isn’t in an area that is predominately black or isn’t filled with poverty. Why can’t a school named Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King have a variety of students to show that different races can attend the same school? I believe a school named after an influential civil rights activist should honor or promote what they fought for, which is for students of…

The Civil Rights Museum as a whole was a very interesting/learning experience. Since this was my first time visiting the museum, I really did not know what to expect. I knew that it was where Dr. King was assassinated, however I was unaware of all the other exhibits leading up to and even after the Civil Rights movement. The staff there were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the events that took place throughout the museum. Also, the exhibits were amazing, I really enjoyed seeing the…

The GI Bill granted WWII veterans new educational opportunities and greater chances for economic stability or prosperity. “Thousands of African-American veterans took advantage of this benefit and then discovered after graduating from college that whites received better-paying jobs.” Encouraged by their new educations and optimistic for the future, many African Americans were let down when they found that even with a college education, equality was still far off. The GI Bill, which they had…

Equality and the means of obtaining fair treatment of all people has always existed as a controversial topic of debate. Even just the mention of civil rights generates heated discussions and usually leads to aggression. All the hostility and violence ensued from outraged activists destroys thousands families and towns. W.E.B. Du Bois, an equal rights revolutionary during the early 1900s, advocates for these vicious and fierce fighting tactics, in which the end results justify the mode. On the…
