I have lived in the south all of my life and in mostly suburban areas. Many aspects of country living are appealing like the large yards and the quiet lifestyle, but I enjoy having the necessities and activities right down the road. Living in the city has grown on me now that I am at Tech. When I was looking at colleges, I said I would not go to school in the city. When I came to Tech, the campus did not feel like it was in the middle of the city and there is always something to do. All of the different landscapes have appealing attributes, but I prefer the suburban environment. Even though the suburbs are associated with sprawl, the developing neighborhoods create a stronger community feeling. The great southern communities have nice neighborhoods, friendly people, green grass, large pine trees, and plenty of dogwoods and magnolias in the yards.
In my community in Charleston, we have some unique features that define our area as southern. There are the palm trees that are on the golf courses and in yards. Also, the marshland surrounding the city and the islands define the area as southern. I love the different landscapes of the south and the many beautiful areas the region has. This is a great scene below with the tree covered in spanish moss and the marsh in the background.
