Eventually, and without encountering even a single hostile Dweller partisan, the High King, the High Queen and their entourage of bodyguards reached the pathway leading to the meeting area where the five emissaries were expecting them. As soon they got there, the Dweller bodyguards used their trucks to block off the tunnel up ahead, exposing any potential threat to heavy gunfire. Furthermore, from the direction that they came, the area was given sufficient cover, perhaps as much as what was provided in the front. The rest of them went with the High King and the High Queen to the pathway, lit only by torches mounted onto the walls. This pathway that they travelled through, situated on the left side of the two trucks that covered the tunnels in front of them, appeared to have been made by simple manual labor. In other words, it appeared as if someone took all the time and effort to use a pick axe, some shaped demolition charges and other mining tools to build a nice living area for the local tribals. …show more content…
Among the number of stores was a tailor shop, a barber, a pastry shop, a baker, a butcher, a grocer selling Ryanite goods from the surface, a Catholic bookstore, a small clinic, a restaurant, a classy tavern that only opens during late night hours and a coffee shop. Suspended above from the windows on some of the tenements was the sight of laundry. Some of the Ryanite men (and a few women) would grab a bite to eat on their way to work, which was the industrial sector, while their spouses would chat with one another as they browsed through the goods being sold by the merchants. Others would play board games amidst the noisy street. No one there was left bored, for there were plenty of things to do

There are many examples of cities reforming itself over time, one significant example is Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. More than a hundred years after the discovery of gold that drew thousands of migrants to Vancouver, the city has changed a lot, and so does one of its oldest community: Downtown Eastside. Began as a small town for workers that migrants frequently, after these workers moved away with all the money they have made, Downtown Eastside faced many hardships and changes. As a city, Vancouver gave much support to improve the area’s living quality and economics, known as a process called gentrification. But is this process really benefiting everyone living in Downtown Eastside? The answer is no. Gentrification towards DTES(Downtown Eastside) did not benefit the all the inhabitants of the area. Reasons are the new rent price of the area is much higher than before the gentrification, new businesses are not community-minded, and the old culture and lifestyle of the DTES is getting erased by the new residents.
The laboring poor’s leisure activity was brief, casual, and non-commercial. Amusement was and had to be cheap. It mostly consisted of walks, visiting friends, and reading the penny press. The people of the Lower East Side entertained with sights of interest and penny pleasures such as organ grinders and buskers, acrobats performed tricks and vendors and soda dispensers competed for customers.
Lansdowne Road, located at West 43rd street 10th Ave, brings people together in a popular neighborhood, Hell’s Kitchen, located at the west side of Manhattan. Pat Hughes, owner of Lansdowne Road, and his partners Mike Pew and Dan McLaughlin established Lansdowne Road, an Irish bar, with their savings and loans from the bank in the mid-2000s. Lansdowne Road has 18 employees and has an income of $826,000 USD per year. Lansdowne Road’s income positions Lansdowne to accommodate each employee, due to Governor Cuomo’s executive budget plan. Moreover, businesses with a sales volume of more than $500,000 USD per year, are expected to apply the new minimum wage of $15 an hour by 2018.
The chat wasn’t the only lasting result of the mining; left in this corner of Oklahoma was also 300 miles of mining tunnels (5). These tunnels were created by a method known as room-and-pillar (1). Large rooms were mined to get access to ...
... and men of the community would freely pick their jobs without being demanded. Both women and men received an evenly amount of hours. Most of the time the women would be taking care of household chores and the children while the men produced crops and did most of the farming. At one point a man named Lewis Ryckman, suggested a business of shoemaking which successful.
The article discusses the need for these early Chicago saloons as a neighborhood commune for those men who labor long hours only to come home to poverty and despair of a desolate household. Melendy focuses on the mental, physiological, and moral nature of these workingmen. He points out that this saloon culture allows it’s patrons to develop these traits by interacting with their peers—others facing the same despair. These establishments are described as the “workingman’s school. He is both scholar and teacher” (Melendy pg. 78). Patrons gather at the bar, around tables and in the next room amongst games of pool, cards, and darts to discuss political and social problems, sporting news, and other neighborhood gossip. Here men, native and immigrant, exchange opinions and views of patriotism, brotherhood, and lessons in civil government. Melendy describes this atmosphere as cosmopolitan, and articulates that these businesses advertise this issue in their names. For example one of the downtown saloons was entitled “Everybody’s Exchange.” The saloon’s customers experienced a buffet of nationalities upon which was not so for those of poverty in previous decades. Saloons also served as disguises of corruption as Melendy illustrates by declaring “...
“In an hour and 40 minutes they run more than 15 miles over uneven red clay, dodging small herds of cattle and donkeys laden with sacks of potatoes…The route climbs more that 3,000 feet, from and elevation of slightly more than 6,500 feet at the river to nearly 10,000 at the peak, where oxygen is precious and a cruel wind slices across the face of the hill.” (Layden, par. 2)
The Safer Cities Initiative of Los Angeles was brought upon the city in late 2006 by Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa. The Initiative was primarily designed to remove the homeless and mentally ill citizens from the isolated, 50 by 5 block, Los Angeles streets, known Nationally as Skid Row. In the end the S.C.I. violated these citizens civil rights and failed to meet any set obligations and responsibilities. Since the city of Los Angeles put this initiative into motion, the city then became responsible for these people, as if they were the “parent” of these homeless “children”. You can’t kick a homeless person off the streets, they’re homeless. So where do they go if they aren’t allowed on the street? Where do the mentally ill go if there are no mental institutions or clinics, or even medication? Food service providers in the area can only endow so much food for so many people. Where do the people left hungry go if there are only a miniscule amount of these service providers? The Safer Cities Initiative and the City of Los Angeles did not take care of their responsibilities.
Secondly, Native American tribes had to walk over 900 miles just to find new homes. The art...
The story begins with a scene of midsummer, with the laziness of those who can afford to lounge near the pool, those with money who are able to joke about having "drank too much" (Norton, p. 1862). Typical of suburban lifestyle are the nightly parties and social events surrounded by cocktails and lush poolside conversations. "It was a fine day" and "The sun was hot" give us a sense of this careless abandon for those whom work is not necessarily an 8 to 5 regularity (Norton, p. 1862).
In society, the wealth of an individual is determined by the house they live in. In Ragged Company, the character Timber combats this idea by providing an alternate view on the idea of home. The dictionary definition of home according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary is “one’s place of residence” (Home), however, Timber attaches to the connotative definition. This definition conveys that a home is a place or person where one feels safe and comfortable. Coordinated with this definition, the author of Ragged Company goes into detail of the lives of several homeless people and higher middle class man. These characters interact and evolve with each other in ways that support Timber’s claim. Granite and Digger come from different backgrounds but
The communities were built with an abundance of houses that would allow families with all of the same interests to reside as one and work together as community. These communities would have community events to bring the community closer. The citizens of these communities were the typical American families with cars and children that lived in the house with the white picket fence. The citizens of the communities would compete to see who had the best decorated houses and win awards. It kept the community members involved in the community (Hales, Levittown: Documents of an Ideal American Suburb). This type of community helped camouflage the lives of
