My Suburbia
My town is that opposite of what Mr. Kuntsler described. I live in a small town with a very simple design. There are no big buildings or anything very distracting in this town. The most distracting thing in town is the out of place digital sign on the road into town. Even that isn’t that bad.
There is one main street in town that is about an eighth of a mile long. There are about eight or nine town shops. There is one grocery store and one coffee shop. We have two Mexican restaurants and two small town diners. One small post office that loses about one in five packages.
The town is small and about fifty percent of them homes are weekend homes. Most are log cabins and even the new homes have a rustic look. This town is for people who are trying to get away from the city. There are two kinds of people in town; the ones who know everything that is going on, and the ones that are in this town for its privacy. A lot of the town leave there Christmas lights up all year long others take them done while Christmas dinner dishes are being done. There are themed houses and cluttered houses.
The town was built around nature. When driving down the streets you have to watch out for the pine trees that divide them. Everything is considered a historical land mark here. The forest is protected and well taken care of. We take care of our town. When you walk done the street this is one of the only towns in America you will not find a single piece of trash, and you probably won’t find a piece of gum on the ground either. The homes are all built close together but that’s how people like them to be. The streets are in pretty straight lines except for some that have the trees in the middle of them.
Wrightwood is a different kind of suburbia. It’s a quiet place with a population under four thousand and all different kinds of people. There isn’t much in town but there is always something going on. It’s a pretty safe town and well respected by all residents. Wrightwood is a suburbia just not a traditional suburbia.
