Research Paragraphs =)

Neighborhoods aren't always what they appear to be. Some may look old and worn out and some maybe newer and well kept. My neighborhood is right in between. It's one of the earliest neighborhoods, which I am sure of but it is still very well kept. There are a lot of things I am grateful my neighborhood provides. Not only is it considered a residential area but it's also a big commuter area. Where I reside there is easy access to public transport and in New York City that's always a good thing! My main focus however on this project it to determine whether or not the area has become or is in the process of becoming more of a commuter area and less of a residential Area. Also I'll be comparing and contrasting earlier and current demographics of this particular city, showing the various changes in it's surroundings, that have taken place in Richmond Hill, New York!
Taking a walk in Richmond Hill is like taking a stroll down China Town! The only differences are cultural and if you continue to walk around Richmond Hill, you'll walk into a more family oriented environment as opposed to China Town which is just a commercial area. The reason I choose to compare Richmond Hill to China Town is because I am assuming many have been to China Town and have experienced the big crowd and busy shoppers. The big crowds of my town are usually found on Liberty Avenue. This one stretch of concrete house all the fast food joints along with vegetable markets and even clothing stores! If however one decides to walk down one of the grid like one way streets, they are walking into the homes of the people who currently reside in Richmond Hill.
