Cobblestone

There would be nothing directly behind and in front of the castle: there would only be grass. A cobblestone road will be present and there will be a huge gate that people would have to enter to be allowed in the castle. Looking from your perspective when standing next to the castle, there would be an ocean right in front of the castle and a mountain view…

Brewed Awakening, skate at Hadley Park, go to the gym at Planet Fitness, watch a baseball game at the Spinners, and so much more. I disagree with Bryson on the idea that Americans don’t manage their possessions. In downtown Lowell one can find the cobblestone streets, mills, and other aged prized possessions that Lowell takes pride in today. Lastly, Bryson discovered that Americans believe they live in an amazing country and I agree. Lowell is so diverse that one can find at least one thing,…

created ways to keep places clean despite the constant use and traffic. Glaeser explains that, “In the 1880’s, New York’s streets were typically paved with oblong granite blocks laid on a bed of gravel. Sweeping those streets was easier than keeping cobblestones clean, but dirt and dust were still ubiquitous” (103). Cities make us smarter because the spread of information happens more smoothly from city to city rather than across rural communities. Paris experienced great success in the 1860’s…

When I was young I used to live in a poor neighborhood in Arizona. I lived in a one room house until my sister was born, and then we expanded to two rooms. We did have running water and electricity, but no heat. After my mom and dad divorced, my mom, sister, and I moved in with my grandparents in Groton Long Point. For me and my sister this was a big switch. We went from living in a two room house to a house that could sleep thirteen comfortably. Changes like this in my life have made me realize…

Dental Tourism in Romania From the walled, medieval setting of Sighisoara, to the haunting, historical footsteps of the infamous Vlad Dracul, Romania is a resplendent example of authenticity, culture and history. Situated south of Ukraine, Romania sits directly atop the sinuous curve of the Carpathian Mountains. Originally, Romania was a province of the ancient Roman empire call Dacia. A combination of Moldavia and Wallachia, Romania secured its name in 1866. Romania is primarily a Republic…

It’s really funny thinking back about how it all began. A kid with no experience whatsoever of Parkour attempted one of the higher level tricks and succeeded. It was hot, the sun was bright and my clothes were sticking to my red body. My palms were sweating, was it nervousness? No, it was excitement, or it could just have been the furious heat of the fiery orb we called a sun. Maybe I was overthinking things and being overly cautious, but I look toward Shaggy and asked, “You sure I can do…

favorite places to go in my free time is the beach. A beach is a national geographic nature made landform that is near a body of water. It usually consists of loose particles, which are frequently made out of sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, or cobblestones. The particles living at a beach are occasionally biological to the origins, such as mollusk shells or coralline algae. Beaches typically appear around areas along the coast where there is a wave or current activity (Wikipedia, Paragraph 1).…

several aspects of fascism, such as restricted freedom of speech, a disdain for intellectuals and the arts, and an infamous leader. In the opening scenes of V for Vendetta, a gloomy view of London appears. There is a major lack of color in the cobblestone streets, as if it had been all stripped away. Drab buildings stand tall and looming. Megaphones are placed throughout the city to make announcements from the government. The protagonist of the story, V, is a mysterious anarchist and freedom…

It is often believed that history is best learned from those who have experienced it firsthand. That being the case, I found it most fitting to learn about mob life in New York during the 1930’s from a man who lived it: Mr. Billy Bathgate. Billy was merely a teenager when he got roped into probably one of the most exhilarating, nerve-racking incidents anyone could ever encounter; he was part of a mob. Billy recalls so many vivid memories about the 1930’s because of his experience with Dutch…
