Westborough, Massachusetts

I was born in Newton Wellesley Hospital in Massachusetts and lived in Brookline MA for 2 years. After that I moved to Westborough MA with my mom, dad and brother. For the next 16 years after that I still live in the same house. Westborough is known for its terrible drivers, Dunkin Donuts, useless police force and buildings. Growing up in a town like this is relaxing and very subtle. There has never been much to do in the town though, which makes it a little boring but very quiet. I had always wished to move somewhere else but when I leave town and come back I feel at home when I enter Westborough because it is where I grew up and learned everything I know today. If there is one thing that aggravates me it is how people drive in this town. Some people drive too fast, some too slow, and others have their own category on how they drive. I have never witnessed so many rear endings and pullovers in one town. In the center of Westboro there is a rotary, its very simple, some entrances you yield and others you stop. On one side of the rotary is a building with a few stores and apartments on top, the main attraction there is Rotary Pizza and Grille. I worked there as a delivery boy and when I would stand behind the counter and watch traffic I witnessed more than 10 accidents in less than 4 months. although there are many accidents the town manages to stay pretty quiet. There are no amusement parks or exiting places to go hangout at in Westborough. Bay State Commons is a little park area where they hold some fairs and events from time to time, with a supermarket and a few restaurants it brings in many visitors. Recently an indoor trampoline place was put in, that currently is the only fun place to go to. The middle school kids are the ones that walk around town and hangout around Bay State Commons, and the high school kids mainly hangout at a friends house or drive around town bumping

    Life gives no one the chance to choose where they come from. That includes the town they were born in. However, depending on the child’s parents, the city they grow up in can be constantly changing. There are advantages and disadvantages to moving around a lot. One advantage would be the chance to be introduced to new surroundings. On the other hand, the person moving would be least likely to become attached to certain activities, clubs, friends, etc. Moving around also, does not mean they have to leave the city. They could be moving to a different neighborhood within the town. For example, when I was younger I used to live in town Grand Mound, Iowa. When I was around six years old, my family moved right outside…

    I was raised in the small town of Hidalgo, Texas, just on the side of the Mexican Border. Living there made me grow up thinking that possibilities were limited and there was not much offered to us. Although, along the years, I realized that this town did not define me , and it actually made me strong enough to take on life elsewhere in the future . I remember being in this town ten years ago, and there was only local businesses . The town has grown along with me, and it has opened up opportunities to its community and myself.…

    Lawrence, Kansas, the city in which I went to college, is roughly 35 square miles, where as Juneau is over 2,500 square miles. We also only have around 30,000 people here, Lawrence had about 90,000 people in it. I miss Lawrence so much, the feeling of being surrounded by like minded people, stores, and restaurants goes unmatched. Here I see very few people. My day to day interactions usually involve the people I work with, and my family. Everyone is very republican and private. Everyone owns a gun and goes to church with it every Sunday. Why they think they need to bring a gun to church is beyond. Back in lawrence I would meet tons of like minded individuals every day. Id wake up and go to my favorite book store, then have coffee with friends, and maybe catch a show that night. Here we have one bookstore, with a very sad selection mostly covering topics such as hunting and fishing. Here they call it game, but I call it lame. Also everybody here is so old. I miss being surrounded by young blood. The median age here is 37, compared to Lawrence which has a median age of 27. People are constantly talking about the weather, everyday it’s cold, I don't understand how a topic like this can be interesting to anyone, it seriously never…

    What do you think of when you hear the words “Jane Street”? People often associate the street with the intersection Jane and Finch, infamous for crime, drugs, shootings and gang activity. It is the street that people avoid by all means necessary, for the fear that something bad might happen to them. But how are people terrified of an area that they’ve never even step foot in?

I lived near the intersection of Jane and Sheppard for about two years. Prior to living in this neighbourhood, I had only been near that area once or twice when I was younger, so my main source of information on the neighbourhood was from the stories of crime and gang activity I heard on the news. When I first moved into the townhome in Jane and Sheppard, the knowledge…
