NEW YORK CITY! You know, when I see New York City, there’s a lot that goes on there. Fast-food restaurants, overpriced sporting events at the Madison Square Garden, and not to mention the millions of people that maybe from an aerial shot look like tiny ants working within their colony. I’m excited to be there and it never gets boring when I go to the same food spots there. The adrenaline rush from walking through a train station that lies in front of one of the largest buildings in the world…

When walking around the city of Philadelphia, the majority of advertisements focus around one word: Phillyosophy. A popular way of describing the comprehensive personality of Philly residents, Phillyosophy is often interpreted by locals as the unique attitude Philadelphians have due to the city’s defining characteristics like it’s rich history, welcoming cultural perspective, and passion for sports. Growing up in the shadow of this city, I’ve developed my own Phillyosophy over the years. Since…

Camryn Hoffman’s Declaration of Independence From Technology and Social Media If one were to walk down the streets of New York City, what would they see? They would most likely see an abundant amount of people texting, calling, or taking pictures while walking. They may even see a few drive by who are simultaneously completing a similar action. Our social world today survives off of technology and social media. Most people prefer texting rather than calling or talking in person as their main…

expanded several times around the turn of the 20th century, with various additions being completions and its iconic façade added in 1926. In 1925, the museum acquired the Cloisters – then a separate museum dedicated to medieval art – in Upper Manhattan as a gift from John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Later, the museum launched a new, 20-year architectural master plan in 1971 to make it more accessible and open to the public. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a number of new and renovated art galleries…

Intro- As graduating high school, I always had the desire to up my career to be a successful and financial man within the future. A week later, I started to think how am I going to live on my own. Where will I stay at for my existing 4 years or maybe years. So I did my research on the Kansas State University housing. As I am looking through my options, I was interested for the Kramer complex’s. My mom told me is it safe, healthy, and in good living conditions to live there? When I kept scrolling…

Splash! I jumped into each puddle making a new sound with every step. It was raining that achingly long day and instead of being with my friends on a saturday night, I had to deliver 103 pizzas around my home town. Instead of having fun hanging out with my friends I was lugging around heavy pizzas. Just so instead of going on my first big trip to New York City by myself, I get to go with my father. My boring, crabby, old father. Instead of having fun and laughing with my friends, I have to…

It was the middle of November, my family and I took a road trip to New York City. As we arrived to the city, we had to wait a few minutes to cross the George Washington Bridge because there was a lot of traffic. After waiting for a while we drove across the bridge and as we made our way across I saw a lot of skyscrapers, including the New World Trade Center and the Empire State Building. We arrived to a place where we had to wait for more than an hour to get on a ferry boat that would take us…

The alarm sounded, and I rubbed my eyes open. I sat up did a little stretch then flipped off my blanket and hopped out of bed. I was going to New York City that day, so I got dressed and headed out. It was mid-December but felt like late April which was strange but I didn’t mind. I had the picture of New York City in my head from when I lasted visited years ago. Bright lights, beautiful sky, and big buildings flooded my mind to create a perfect scenery. The picture I had envisioned was not what…

A city like Evanston has unprecedented opportunities. Its energy resonates to what I feel when I walk to through the streets of New York City. It is truly home away from home in my mind. But, the best part about the city is that people will not curse you out when you try to get ahead of them if they are walking too slow, or intimidate you if they don’t like the way you are acting. New Yorkers have a knack for all of this. Also how can I forget that it won’t have that constant aroma that NYC has…

urban population, which keeps increasing as a result of his projects. Rising rents drive the proletariat into the suburbs”. Comparably, Park Avenue is one of the longest perspectives in New York city, with the broadest, straightest thoroughfare in Manhattan. Park Avenue is also one of the most notoriously expensive streets in New York City, with continuously rising rents. I can only assume rising rents have pushed the working class citizens into local suburbs as Benjamin had described in Paris.…
