.Philadelphia



If I met someone who has never been to Philadelphia, I would describe it as the best cheese steak making city in America. However, I will talk about the food, the issue of maintaining your property, and what to do if you violate you’re maintaining. The meat is so tender as well seasoned and it lays on top of that soft roll of bread, which has been toasted nice and warm in the oven, so it’s really crisp. Then you also have the cheese on top of the meat, which puts a little hmmmm…good into it! To top it off you then drown it in ketchup and hot sauce with a little old bay season….OMG….Philly cheese steaks are the best! However, Philadelphia also has the best water ices! Its water ice is so mouth watering and when you see it, your taste buds would holler! Philadelphia just has a great buzz on food. It is a very diverse city and has a lot of good things; it also has a lot of bad things just like many other cities or other places. It has one of the best Ivy League Universities its widely known University of Penn; located on the 3400 block of Spruce Street. South Street is an amazing place to be; it’s like a strip filled with shopping stores and tattoo parlors. It also has my favorite pizza shop on South Street called Leonardo’s pizzeria. It’s one of the places I like to shop at and also hang out with the friends and family. Downtown Philadelphia is also a great place to hang at. You have the shopping centers and jewelry stores, but then you have the Constitution Center, which teaches about the actual constitution, it’s a very nice museum to attend. Philadelphia is a very busy city.

To describe my neighborhood to someone is like telling a story book. My neighborhood is very urban and it’s a low-working class environment. It’s very cheerful on the block I live on and really not a lot of violence, with the exception of children fights. My street is sought of a wide street. Many people don’t take care of their homes and they live like there stuck in poverty. The children do enjoy themselves when they are outside for he most part, especially the little ones. The little ones mostly ride their bikes, play dolls, scream, and play hoola-hoops. There are a lot of noisy teenage boys on my block who often plays on the basket ball court or sit on this one boy step that seems like they have no parents. They often hang outside at any time of the day, even midnight when every one is sleep, or like me getting prepared for the next day to attend my writing academy known as TWA. I live in a newly built house, and it’s very well taken care of. I am the only house on the block with pretty pink and white flowers on my porch and on the step with lawn chairs out on the porch to sit in. My family is the only one who sweeps in front of the house and picks up the trash in front, and I say this to say keeping your house maintained and having a nice front is something you should do to make your community be a better place. The houses are huge and nice but many people in the neighborhood don’t want to keep up with their homes. Their three story houses with drive ways and with nice size backyards. However, my neighborhood is like a place where middle class people like me can live but, still have a comfortable home and present our selves well in public. We step off our step it’s like we are entering into another world. I think just because you live in a low-middle class income area or you don’t have an certain amount of money you don’t have to keep your home looking abandon or throw trash on the grown, or come out the house looking inappropriate to walk the streets. People blame everything on money and don’t care about what’s going on when you can really balance your money out and not just spend it on clothes or materialistic things. Last, there are also a lot of nice parts of Philadelphia and don’t get me wrong. I do believe that people who live in my neighborhood have the ability keep their homes up. It’s just that they don’t want to expand their, minds or there’s no one there to help them achieve the goal of maintaining your home or property. Wow! Philadelphia has a lot going on!

Get Out! Not keeping up your home is a bad influence on your neighborhood and yourself. It’s just not a good practice. If your not maintaining your property its time for you then to move out. For example, having dog crap on your porch is unacceptable, not having a door knob is ridiculous, and having trash in front of your house is just not good practice. After you are moved from your house you then have to take a class on the morals of maintaining your house. Clearly, maintaining your house is obviously important.

Obviously, Philadelphia has the best cheese steaks and the best water ice, maintaining your house is important, and you will be kicked out if violated. Philadelphia is a wonderful but it does have its goods and bads of being a large city, containing about five million people.
