My Neighborhood





My neighborhood is loud, like a group of dogs howling and barking all together. When you walk, you can hear people yelling randomly and people talking together making the sounds. When I am at home, I can hear the sirens of police cars with police in them chasing criminals. It just makes me want to put a pillow over my head.

My neighborhood has trash cans, but people don't use them. They use the streets as a thrash can. They throw the trash everywhere from the sidewalks, to the streets. The sidewalk sometimes have a brown, smelly surprise waiting for both people and animals. It is like a swamp with an alligator waiting for dinner.

There are many types of food restaurants to at here. For example, Vietnamese, Mexican, corner stores, Mongolian, and many more. I like this one store called "Saigon Sandwich", because they have the best sandwiches in my opinion. Their sandwiches are always fresh and the workers are very polite and kind. If you go there very often, they will know you are one of their favorite customers. You should try eating at their restaurant. You are going to want to comeback for seconds. Finally, when you are done eating, you will be as satisfied as a happy monkey with a banana.
