As a young, idealistic, and confused teen, I have a lot of dreams. These dreams are a bit scattered to the winds at the moment, but I can pin down at least one of them: my dream to go to New York City. Despite the fact that New York is many miles away, I still find myself wanting to go there. I don’t have family there, or anything easily nailed down like that. Instead, I want to go to that city for a few touchy-feely reasons that can only be explained with a bit of personal context. It’s a bit hard to describe my dream (since it’s more of a feeling then a concrete thing), but I’ll try my best to break it down into three tangible reasons. I could go on and on about all sorts of micro-reasons, but the main reasons I want to go to NYC are because of the general attractions, the fashion, and the culture. Well, to get it out of the way, the first reason I will talk about for going to New York City is because of the general attractions the city has, as in landmarks and famous places. Unfortunately, describing the interesting places of a city or town is a bland staple of any essay that focuses on a vacation destination, including this one. With New York, the general attractions (although spectacular), are a bit worn down. NYC’s famous places have been heard about by everyone and have been in everything, making the city a bit of a tourist trap. With all of those famous buildings, museums, architecture, and landmarks, how could it not be? New York being a tourist trap isn’t
Have you ever been somewhere that you would go to that place every day of your life? Well that place for me is New Orleans! I went to New Orleans two years ago with my volleyball team for nationals. It was super fun and exciting to see an amazing place. New Orleans is definitely my favorite place to travel. They have very fun things there to do and very good places to eat.

Harlem, New York in the Twenties was a place where colored people had migrated to show their talents. It was a time when African American Artist, Writers, Dancers, Musicians, and Doctors decided to show the world how spectacular they were. Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, and Langston Hughes were just a few famous names that arrived during this time. One sensational woman stood out among the rest, her name was Josephine Baker. She took a stand and fought for what she believed in, she was a strong and passionate women and she never let anyone get in the way of the things she loved to do. No matter how risqué or dangerous it may have been.
The issue with the re-developing of New Orleans is an area that has been debated between governors, investors, urban planners, residents and other professionals since hurricane Katrina, the costliest “natural” disaster in 2005. This wonderful place, is a Louisiana city near the Gulf of Mexico. Its strategic position, becomes the exit of the great Mississippi-Missouri river system, which drains the interior North of America. New Orleans is one of the lowest spots in the United States, it is already as much as 17 feet below sea level in some places, and it continues to sink more than an inch a year. Re-developing New Orleans will be a difficult aspect because of its location, topography and weather conditions. However, New Orleans is one of the most culturally rich urban

I was born in Bronx New York, and moved when I was just about to start Kindergarten. I had a lot of family who still lived in the Bronx so I would spend a tremendous amount of time visiting my cousins. I guess you could say I was basically raised in the Bronx. As a child growing into my teen years I would hangout in the school playgrounds to play Basketball with my cousins and who ever wanted to play ball. I was first introduced to the N word when I was around 10 years old. I heard it while I was playing with my cousins and a group of older kids were sitting at a table talking. The part that was odd is that some of those kids were black and white. As I grew up the N word followed me into Brewster NY where I resign currently. I had many

My project will be about how Wall Street got its name and how it became America's financial industry. As a matter of fact, New Amsterdam or later renamed as New York by the English Rule was first founded by the Dutch in 1614, for no other reason than to make a profit or a buck. New Amsterdam occupied much of the tip of lower Manhattan and was managed by the Dutch India Company. After two decades of New Amsterdam being founded it was a disorderly town with no order established, that caused a bad morale at its lowest. In 1647 New Amsterdam got a new director-general Peter Stuyvesant who had a strict orders by the Dutch India Company to clean up the place up. Within the same year of his arrived as director-general to the colony Stuysevant, banned drinking alcohol on Sundays and outlawed fornicating with the Indians. Therefore, he establishes an economic
How the 5 atmosphere controls affect temperature and precipitation in St. Louis and Singapore. How about we start with St. Louis Missouri, since it is by all accounts a most loved of Darrel Hess. As we learned in our labs St. Louis is encompassed via arrive on the mainland of North America and is hotter in the late spring and cooler in the winter than seaside territories. The explanation behind this is land-water contrasts. Land and water warmth and cool contrastingly and land masses warmth and cool quicker than the sea (Hess, 2011).
There is a gruesome history that bites and holds onto Guanajuato, México. This does not mean that Guanajuato is not the magnific and almost magical place it truly is.

Guanajuato is greatly admired and visited by many every year all because of the amazing things that keep it alive.
Were going to be talking about problems, historic events and tragedies that occurred in New York. I am also going to be talking about things that are common and things that are different between early New York and New York today. According to “America’s Best History U.S. Timeline and facts about the 1870’s,” New Yorks Mayor Boss Tweed is arrested”, “Thomas Nast German had skewed the Boss Tweed ring in his cartoons, is credited with an important role in his downfall”. “The National Rifle Association is granted a charter by the State of New York”. “New York Metropolitan Museum of art opens.” “New York City politician Boss Tweed escapes prison, he would be captured and returned to authorities.” And so much more has happened in the city for both
Jacquelyn was a modest, simple girl from the Bronx, New York. But that 's all she seemed to be. That 's all she knew she was. Jacquelyn, although known as Jacquelyn on stage, was just the young girl that performed in the local bars and pubs of the Bronx.
The sounds of the city penetrated the walls of the cab as we drove through the streets of Manhattan. I could hardly wait to partake in the action that was happening outside. The buildings themselves were an amazing site to behold. The buildings took on personalities of their own. Each building was bigger and more graceful than the next. When lights were added to the mix it was a dazzling combination. The city itself felt like a great big hug, and I felt overwhelmed by its power. The city allowed me to become part of it just like many others many years ago who immigrated to this awesome city. As I was looking out of the cab I finally got to see in person the sight of all sights; Times Square. The main juncture of
The short story Mexico City from 1950 was written by Ray Bradbury. The original name for this story was The Window. It was later named Mexico City and Calling Mexico. All three names make sense considering what the story is about.
