Auburn’s Nature I moved to Auburn when I was just 4 years old, that was 15 years ago. A young child living in a little old town with lots and lots of nothing. At that time Auburn didn’t have a whole lot of chained businesses or places to go when you got bored. It was a very simple small town, nothing fancy at the time. You had your gas stations, the grocery stores, the schools, the banks and so on. I use to see these places every day as my parents drove me to school. Riding in the back seat looking left and right, I remember how different Auburn was back then, all those years ago. There were lots of areas of the town where there would just be dirt and weeds and grass and trees. Those areas in Auburn don’t exist today. Every year since I moved to this town I started to see changes, the grass and dirt would begin to be covered and the trees …show more content…
One example is the Auburn movie theater. It didn’t exist when I first moved here. Instead it was a big open field of grass and trees. It was nature. I remember this because at the time my family was trying to find a new house in Auburn, and the one house that caught their eye was right next to the big field, the soon to be movie theater. It was a massive field of bushes and trees, probably big enough to build a Costco on. Within the next year of getting that new house, the Auburn movie theater was built and all the nature was swept out in the process. Flash forward 14 years and there 's no way you 'd recognize that big field. Today it’s all concrete and asphalt, with a huge parking lot and two different car dealerships surrounding the theater. This is just one example of how the nature in Auburn has been completely swept. The huge field of 15 years ago was just one of many places in the town where nature was overtaken by what felt like a mini modern industrial
Anytime Blevins would move forward in time and talk about the Ozarks new cash crop, it would always start in these northwestern counties and spread from there. These two counties even had were home to, or very close to the University of Arkansas and its very forward looking School of Agriculture. This was what made these counties outshine other counties but is also something that helped them keep up with modern practices and get out in front of the market. In the public eye at the time, and even in modern times, Universities do not correlate to backwardness, especially when the college works so closely with the surrounding community.
Our backyard was the alley where you can see piled up junk cars, dimmed street lights and small sewage
To obtain grass again dirt must be placed down along with grass seeds and be artificially grown. In the event that we need once again more farmland many of the flat land in urban areas is all ready being used by parking lots and such other constructs. In my opinion I believe that the construction of new buildings on new plots of land has to come to an end relatively soon before their is no more land for anyone to us. However, I agree with the idea of putting up new building. I agree with the idea of using all ready ruined land such as old strip malls and other such places to build these new buildings.
Also, irrigation made a really big change in Yuma because it led to the development of a citrus grove. They started planting oranges, grapefruits, lemons, figs, and dates in the area, they then started selling the fruit to
The abolishment of the transatlantic slave trade era in 1808 ushered in a rapid expansion of domestic slave trade in the United States. While the transatlantic slave trade brought the eventual end to slave transportation overseas, it had a highly profitable and adverse effect upon domestic slave trade and transportation. Towns that were once irrelevant such as Montgomery Alabama became central assets for slave transportation because they connected the lower and upper South through the railroads and steam boats. Montgomery Alabama in particular was in the center of the black belt and boasted the highest enslaved black population in 1860 at 23,710. Yet until 2013, Montgomery Alabama failed to acknowledge the injustice that occurred on their very own streets.
These physical changes to the environment in turn helped locals with their economical problems and altered how Americans and locals viewed the nature surrounding
The state of Mississippi has went through many different changes over the years with the state of the economy system to citizens that make of this wonderful state. At one time in the state history, growth of the economy was based solely on agricultural and the sweat and tears of the African slaves.

We moved here because my dad got a new job. He had to move from California to Newton. It was okay at first since we had a few family members, but after I had to go to school, I was already regretting my whole life. Until, I met some nice great friends. Then it got better that 's why I think that Newton is a great city to
”(Columbus, 16) He goes on to talk specifically about the beauty of the trees, and meadows. He says, “There are pines too, of an admirable beauty, fields and meows, of the utmost extent, birds of many
I can remember when every street in town had four or more houses in the part of town where the trees live. Now there is only two standing there on Assiniboine Ave. this street goes straight through the middle of town and at the end is now another eye sore. The old high school which was built in 1926 used to stand there. You could see it from my Grandpa Tom Black Eagle’s house on Assiniboine Ave.
This is because it was known as one of the most deprived areas and wasn’t as developed as other areas. Therefore, hydro-electrical projects and irrigation were introduced. It really helped ease the economic hardship that they were going through - not only in Tennessee but also in Kentucky, Alabama, North Carolina and other states. Not only that, but many people were provided with jobs by help from the TVA. Alternatively, many people viewed as dangerously socialistic by critics.
Have you ever wondered how Arkansas got its title “The Natural State?” Most people believe it 's because of Arkansas 's rugged landscape or its flowing rivers. The last thing people think of is diamonds. Most people think of diamonds as a mystical object or something that 's barely ever seen, but we are blessed in Arkansas to have an abundance of them, along with natural beauty.
The “wilderness idea” has influenced me to become more pro-environment and to embrace nature whenever the chance is given. These sacred places could easily be destroyed by bulldozers to create new storage and office buildings. Pure wilderness has become a rare site in America due to this. When the wilderness is simply there, it reminds us of where our culture came from and how we’ve altered it for better or worse. The freedom in America has allowed business and discovery to thrive.
I grew up in Wellston, Ohio and lived in the countryside about fifteen minutes from town. My house was a home to me and it wasn 't the greatest, but it was special to me. My big backyard consisted of many fruit trees and a grape vine, it was where I had bonfires with my family and friends, and it was where I ran free with my brother. I had a pond, “over the hill” as my brother and I would say, where we swam and fished in the summertime and sat on the deck feeding bread to the bluegill as we had conversations about life. Behind our pond was where thousands of trees stood tall and where we roamed every inch of the hidden land.
Rocking gently, the car of the Ferris Wheel stops at the very top. Below, the lights of the carousel glow yellow, green, and pink as the carousel turns, giggling children and parents riding its proud horses. We hear the screams of the riders on the Zipper as they spin through the night air. Mingled smells of funnel cakes and popcorn complement the banjo and harmonies of a bluegrass band. As we lean over the safety bar, we smile at the Bergton Fair below on this humid August night, and then we slowly look from the scene to face one another.
