All my life I have lived in the small town of Walkertown, which is only about twenty minutes away from Winston-Salem. Five years ago Walkertown was small and you had to go to the next town over, Kernersville, if you wanted to go shopping for clothes or go out for dinner. Now, Walkertown is a lot more developed and less rural. However, it is nowhere near as developed as Winston-Salem, especially downtown. Winston-Salem is a built up city with a lot of impervious surfaces. However, as industrial as downtown Winston-Salem might be, there are some ‘green spaces’ like parks and fields in some places. When looking at Google Earth I typed in my old address because that’s the area in Walkertown I would know the best. Avalee St. (my street) is how I remember it; a long street with a few houses and woods surrounding it. However, the woods were cut short on the West side due to the new neighborhood (Esher Dr.) being built. There are also a lot of new things that were built, like the new Walkertown Middle School. It’s so new that the first graduating class was in 2014. Other places like McDonald’s and Sheetz are not as new as the school, but I do remember when nothing was there except trees. So, my neighborhood might not have really changed, but most of Walkertown did. There is a new high school to the West and new restaurants to the …show more content…
Obviously, the most built up part is downtown. It is packed full of impervious surfaces. There are restaurants, companies, banks, places to shop and a multitude of other things. However, the farther you get from downtown, it changes. To the East is Salem College as well as another school and many houses. That might sound like a lot but compared to downtown it is pretty open. There are even some little sections of woods. The West is also similar to the East. There are some buildings, a hospital and lots of houses but there are green spaces that you don’t really see in
Station North, a current cultural hub for Baltimore, consists of small neighborhoods such as Charles Village, Bolton Hill, Mount Vernon and some financially deprived areas. It is much better known for its artistry and budding home for young talent than it’s heavy industrial past. In the late 1800s, it was a booming industrial area thriving with factories and business such as the North Avenue Market, Parkway Theatre and the Morgan Millwork Company. The basis of Station North began in the 1840s with the expansion of the city from the Inner Harbor via new roads began. As new methods of transportation began to run throughout the city, the area known as East North Ave began to develop into a thriving suburb.
In my hometown of Waterdown Ontario, there is rarely a minute when the main downtown area is not buzzing with people. In my opinion, the downtown area of Waterdown is alive and lively. Whether people are shopping in one of the variety of stores, grabbing a bite to eat at one of the numerous restaurants or cafés or just driving through, downtown is easily the focal point of town and continues to increase in chaos as Waterdown continues to grow and suburbanize. In Waterdown, the downtown core is where almost every shop and store is located. If you want to do anything from buy groceries to take a pottery class, you do so downtown.

Although the center of the Eastside is not Main and Hastings and I chose that location as a reference point because it was the focus areas of SWEEP. The other organizations did not provide specific areas which is why I had to choose a general area which was in the center. This could have affected by data because the location from the center of Downtown Eastside is greater that the distance between Yaletown and Waterfront with Hastings and
This river flows west to east on the northern borders of New Brunswick (US Census Bureau, 2010). This is the only main geographic landform in the city because being an urban area, there is not much open space. It is mostly flat and occupied by buildings. The Raritan River is an asset to the community because it provides beautiful scenery and it is also used for physical activity. People are able to use the river for a number of water oriented activities.
