Lisa and I have been in classes together for the past few semesters. She is an awesome girl; however I only really know her via internet and chit-chatting in class, which I guess sounds rather creepy. I chose to look at her blog since she offers personal insight into her view on cities. I feel as though I have gained a deeper understanding of who she is by creeping around her profile!!
In Lisa's latest blog she talks about immigration which she touches upon many of the issues that I have discussed in my previous blog. I can relate to her because my family ventured to America roughly the same time. I loved how Lisa writes, " I just think that if they're not doing anything to help the country they do not belong here!" However, my family were positive forces in America oppossed to riding the American wave just like Lisa said her family was. They worked hard to better themselves and make a better life for their family. That is what America is about! Go big or go HOME!
Furthermore, Lisa writes about the gentrification outside of her window. She writes about the three stages and I like how she applied those concepts to her blog entry! She's making my blogs look inferior with all of her technical terms!
My favorite part of Lisa's blog was her description of her lake house. Living in the city is fabulous; but sometimes you just need to get away from the hustle and bustle! Lisa is super lucky to have a getaway house so close, yet far enough from the fast pace city! Take me to your lake house sometime Lis!
