One issue that really concerns me is what society views as the perfect body. For the longest time, being borderline underweight was the trend. However, in today’s society, being plus sized is gaining popularity. When I hear the word “plus sized”, I think of someone who is curvy, not overweight or obese.

The vacant lot in Sunset Terrace is a monstrosity. This space is currently occupied by weeds, litter, and pests.
