There's nothing intriguing or nice In my neighborhood it makes me sick to live like this,,can't afford to leave this state

We live very close to the main road when all the fast food restaurants are. We are also in walking distance to shops that has unique items. Neighbors are very nice.

I like to go to the park near my home very much, because there are many lovely animals there. My son loves it so much that I can take him out every day

I like the mall. I like the waterslides. I like my neighbors. I like pizza guys. I like the movie theater. I like the cops. I like my job at round table pizza.

I like to go to Walmart and to the dollar store. I also love that Albertsons is close enough to walk to.

I feel relatively safe in my neighborhood. The neighbors are nice and quiet and the house is not too small for our family to be in. It's also near Sonics and Walmart.
