sidewalk




In our community, we always meet our friends and neighborhood. Sometimes, we meet in park and sometimes we meet in supermarket. I always see my neighborhood too. But it is not in supermarket or park. I always see them in the road that the picture shows.

As the picture showed, there are few shops. When I moved here, they already stood there. These shops are the closest from my house. They locate on the sidewalk which next to my house. If people want to go to the big supermarket and look for more shops, they have to go further to get what they want. Therefore, these few shops become the center of gathering for people who live near here. Although there are only five shops, there are many people loiter around there. The reason is people must choose this road for going to subway station. And there are bakery, drugstore, 99cents store, boutique and deli. So people can get many living stuff in there. Such as me, I always go there for my breakfast and I meet my neighbor at this time.

This is a community with different culture. Different people come here to shopping; such of Spanish, Chinese, and Indian. They meet here and take times for gathering. We don’t have too much time to make function and we seldom to invite people to home. Then this place is the best place to us for chitchat. Also we can make new friends here and have a chance to recognize our neighbors.

This picture showed “one way”. It locates aside the street. It always attracts my sight so I take a photo on it. This traffic sign is same as normal but it become deformed. I saw it few weeks ago and it is still here. I think it change its shape by the blow of wind. It is because we can see the angle and direction it alters. Also, it located beside the avenue. There are no building to stop the wind and the wind become stronger that makes the wind able to alter the sign. This sign is so funny. Do people see it? Do the drivers know it is “one way”? Do you know what way is one way? Why does no one fix it? People should see it but maybe they don’t know where to report it or they would think it is not a big deal.
