    development where I grew up was quite new and the composition was flat. The same plastic siding houses filled the streets. Trees, shrubs and perennials were immature and skimpy although as a child I didn’t know the difference and loved all the flowers and leaves just the same. It was a neighborhood of only family dwellings, no small businesses intertwined in it. Our backyards were so large so the street was not so much used for play, just mainly auto traffic and bikes. Some people would have…

Like a dark, suffocating cloak had been draped over the town. What is happening here? And why the fuck did I come back? As I walked down the street I counted each and every stone, just as I used to, observing the renovated but still oddly familiar…

    1. I believe his competitiveness, his ability to converse easily with people, and knowing how to market his products to people were the important keys to Walton’s success. My definition of ‘rich’ is similar to Walton’s; I value the essentials in life like food, a roof over my head, and a decent education. If I can provide those to my children, then I will have succeeded in life; my life does not, and will never, revolve around money. That value is not something that I feel the greater portion of…
