These changes make a new living pattern, in which people live in the suburban area and drive to work, becomes possible. As a result, more and more people move out of cities and live in suburban area. These suburban communities are called suburban sprawl. As most people live in the suburbia, merchants relocate themselves with their customers. Office and jobs stayed in the cities in the beginning.

Clinton Hill and Fort Greene are predominantly two separate neighborhoods which are located adjacent to each other, the neighborhoods are extremely simpler in…

One of the biggest reasons why some may be put off from moving to a country town, are the types of careers or sometimes the lack of. In most small towns the job or career oppritunites have taken a great blow, we can take Quesnel for example.

It is always good to change things up. The quote should be changed, but it should still come from the famous words of Walt Whitman.

When I first moved to Julington Creek, the last homes were finishing construction and the first families were just beginning to settle in. Since this was a suburban area, it was mostly composed of houses located near schools, but there also…
