Come nightfall the kids start cryingand the parents are drunk. They go weaving back to the house” (Kerouac, Road 92-3)Another example of...

...Compare and Contrast There are people who live in the big city and those who live in a small town. In the long run, it seems as if some people who live in a big city end up in a small town, and vice versa. Many people thrive in a big city while others live comfortably in a small town. There are differences between a small town and a big city in the attractions, traffic, and commute that make them both attractive. Jorge Garcia is a 20 year-old man who is from Longview, Texas. This small town is located in East Texas and is a very friendly place. The town has a decent selection of attractions even though it is small. Longview counts one principle shopping mall, several major shopping centers, and several small retailers. Longview also boasts two movie theaters. In the time Jorge has lived in Longview, he has also counted over fifty restaurants and about five different nightclubs. One of the benefits Jorge loves about living in a small city is the commute. Although Longview has expanded over the years, the traffic is still manageable. Even if...

...Helen, Georgia vs. SoWo Frank Meals DeVry University Helen, Georgia vs. SoWo It's a quiet day in Helen Georgia population 580 with a 2.1 Square mile radius. With a town this small in size you would never think that it would be the meeting place of the Second Largest Volkswagen meet in the United States. We, Volkswagen enthusiast that is, call the meet SoWo or Southern Worthesee. The City of Helen nestled in the mountains of north Georgia and has a nostalgic feeling of being in Germany the infrastructure of the town is made to look like its sister city in Fussen, Bavaria in Germany, yes I said Germany which makes this quiet town of 580 people the perfect spot for a European car meet. The town of Helen has a lot of activities such as a lazy river where you can ride an inner tube down the ice cold Chattahoochee River that runs out of the mountains of north Georgia. The roads around Helen remind you of riding the twisting and winding roads of the Alps in Bavaria. You can rent a Chateau in the woods with breath taking views of the Appalachian Mountains. So you can see why this event would be held in Helen. For three days in the middle of May the town of Helen transforms into a different city not quite as everybody knows it. The rumble of hundreds of modified Volkswagen enters the Town in a Convoy headed to the Helendorf Hotel, they almost sound like bumble bees when hearing the notes from their exhaust music to any enthusiasts ears, but the indigenous people of Helen...

...Union City Union City is located about twenty minutes south of Erie, Pennsylvania. It is a quaint town with few stores and entertainment opportunities. The town does not have many people or places to visit, but it makes up for it with its beautiful sceneries. Despite the archaic buildings of Main Street and the luscious woods surrounding the town, Union City is often found to be shoddy and unpleasant by outsiders. Located in northwestern Pennsylvania, Union City is a fairly small town with some unpleasant people and some unpleasant places. The town now has a population of 3,127 people (“Union City, PA: Demographic” 1), but began with two: William Miles and David Watts (“History” 1).

...close proximity of airports and many large and convenient transportation paths which link the Town of Cross Roads with an abundance of employment locations in cities such as Dallas, Frisco, Denton, and McKinney. DFW has experienced a large increase in population size in the past 50 years or so. There have been several economic pressures such as a rise in the number of foreclosures and diminishing credit. DFW is known as one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States, and from 1990 to 2000 it grew by approximately 29% and gained a little over one million residents. From 2000-2009 the population grew to nearly 6,637,230. DFW is adding nearly 100,000 new residents annually. One population movement trend in DFW in recent years is for people to move away from the busy downtown city areas into less dense communities like Frisco and Little Elm and even smaller country towns like Cross Roads. Planned communities are very popular now as well. McKinney is rated the second best place in the country to live in 2012 by Money Magazine and USA Today named Denton in 2012 Best Small Towns in America. These towns along 380 are bringing in residents and increasing traffic.

...located in Maotanchang town, Lu An city of Anhui Province in China. Despite the prosperous cities like Shanghai or Guangzhou near the coast, Maotanchang town is in the middle of China, inside foot hills of Anhui. Maotanchang town did not enjoy the economic growth of China’s opening economy, but instead, it specialised in becoming a Gaokao cramming town. 2. What make Maotanchang a cram city? 2.1 Inland Cities’ Inherited Disadvantages In 1979, Deng Xiaoping established several economic special zones in coastline cities of China, including Shanghai and Guangzhou. These cities, has become some of the richest cities in China. And their open economy and advantageous geographic position plays a big role. But small towns like Maotanchang didn’t enjoy much of the opening of China economy. According to The Economists, Anhui’s GDP is only equivalent to Pakistan, while Shanghai’s GDP is equivalent to Finland. The poor location Anhui province is in and the lack of labour, infrastructure facilities made these inland cities hard to enjoy the same growth as coastal cities. Coastal cities contributes XX% of Chinese GDP in 2014, however inland cities only represent XX percent. 2.2 Education Specialization as a Solution to Economic Struggle Lacking specialised industries, Maotanchang thus focus on education, and become a “cramming” specialised city, which can keep it...

...Fahey 12/10 2014 Dead City To Be Brought Back to Life In Ordos, Inner Mongolia in China, Kangbashi district is filled with skyscrapers, government buildings, museums and theatres. Kangbashi looks just like another rising urban center of prosperity, except that there is hardly anyone living there even though it was originally designed to house and entertain one million people. It has been infamous for being the largest ‘ghost city’ in China and unfortunately, it is not the only one. China’s economy has been growing rapidly over the past decades and so is realty business, but problems follow. As a result of a real estate bubble, ‘ghost cities’ sprang up all over the country. The media portrays the deserted plazas and dead stillness in daytime as the excessive Chinese infrastructure investment, and although the media shows cause great concerns, the Chinese government rarely has open discussions on this problem. In my point of view, ‘Ghost Cities’ in China is an important issue since it affects the urbanization, utilization of resources, lives of Chinese citizens and ultimately the development of the entire country. In this paper, I will use Ordos as a typical case study in order to look into some of the contributing factors to this issue such as politics, the economy, social structure and traditional culture, and I will present further thoughts in a broader context. First, I will try to answer the following questions: What are the causes of ghost cities? What are the policies...

...When thinking of a big city the first thing that runs through the mind of many is prodigious buildings whose highest point meets the clouds. They think of bright lights and vast opportunity, and many unrecognizable faces roaming the streets. In turn, a small town may be regarded with thoughts of close knit community where you receive your diploma next to the person who you learned to walk with, small mom and pop business’s and friendly familiar faces roaming the streets. Big cities and small towns can be regarded to day and night, as their differences are vast and plentiful. Prominently, there is a major difference between many aspects of small town DeWitt in rural Iowa and metro city Miami in inner city Florida. Particularly differing in identities...
