What city do you live in? What neighborhood?
I live in Chicago, in Pilsen, but I'm moving back to Indiana to try and save some money!
What are some adjectives that describe your neighborhood?
Plymouth is cozy. Big and Little at the same time.
How long have you lived there, and what brought you there?
Eighteen years, and well like I said, I grew up there, so my birth brought me there.
What is your favorite thing about this place? Your least favorite?
Favorite: all the green things and short buildings. Living in Chicago for two years has been quite a change.
Least: Small town gossip is pretty annoying...no matter how unimportant it is to me.
Do you feel that you belong there?
For now. It has been a great place to learn and explore in. Very safe. I want to travel and see lots of places, so I don't belong there forever.
What is the most common misconception about where you live?
i'm really not sure of an answer for this one...
What is a special fact about your city that you have to live there to know?
Scott Skyles grew-up there, but really he's not that cool, he just did a lot of drugs and played sports.
What aspect of your city do you secretly love?
Although it terrifies me to think I'd be stuck in a small town for a long time now that I'm older and starting my career, I can't help but miss my family so much that I would stay there for a while. So yes, my family i suppose.
