When looking at the life on City Road (‘The Street’, 2009) and observing what happens throughout the course of a day, it is clear that the road is used by a variety of people for many different reasons. City Road has local shops up and down both sides, covering a large range of ethnic cultures. There are food shops, clothe shops, tailoring shops, a sport centre, which on the weekend turns into a market and local newsagents. Recently on City Road, a Tesco convenience store has been opened which to some has proven to be very popular and convenient but for others, it has made life quite difficult. Some of the local shops have been passed down through generations and a shop with such a large market chain attached to it has put many local businesses out of pocket.
1 Town Centres: These are one of the oldest forms of retail. These are small stores normally centred around a high street where there could be a market. An Advantage of Town Centres they are normally close to home so they can act as convenience stores. They can also act as meeting places for friends as a Town Centre is in the middle of a town so would be a good meeting place. This is why Places like Costa Coffee may choose to open here as a lot of people like to have a drink with friends when they catch-up.
In addition, some post offices offer non-postal services such as passport applications and other government forms, car tax purchase, money orders, and banking services.

These types of business are normally owned by sole traders because they don’t have as much money. An example of local businesses would be a corner shop. National business is a business which is located in the whole country.
An average of $520 per meter per year in revenue is generated from parking meters in the Indianapolis downtown area. This money is used to pay for public amenities that can attract customers to small businesses such as the City Market area. The revenue collected is used to clean sidewalks, plant street trees, improve store facades and ensure public safety. The lack of available parking meters is directly affecting the cleanliness of the city. Parking Enforcement Officers are required per their contract to document all placards they see on certain streets while out on their route.
During the day this is used as a restaurant, which welcomes everybody from children to older people. This shows that during the day, people with different ages use the street for different reasons. However at night the club is used as a place for people to drink and dance. This causes age diversities as only people over a certain age are allowed in and the older generation won’t want to go to places like that at night, meaning they won’t use the street at that time of night. Frodingham Road is used for many purposes, for different people of all ages and races.
Although this is the case, there is always the potential for other businesses to come in and try to gain the competitive advantage for itself. By combining the café’s specialized offers with modern technology improvements, the business will enhance its image as a well established organization as well as broaden the capacity in which it serves its customers.

Of course, this doesn’t go for every single person, but on the whole the people are very polite and kind towards you. In London if you are a few pounds short when buying a few things at the supermarket, the person behind you will give you the remaining you owe just to stop you feeling humiliated. In Arlington, multiple times I will be humming a song minding my own business in Wal-Mart when a random man will come up to me and ask me what song I am singing. People in both towns are so open and helpful, making the society a happier and nicer place to live. Overall, London & Arlington have many more differences than similarities, but the towns are on different sides of the world where there are different customs and different views of what standard life is.
"Wal-Mart" is coming to Town". These words conjure up different thoughts and emotions for people of a local community. It does not matter if that community is a small town in Missouri or a suburb of Chicago. Wal Mart effects many existing businesses. When a Wal-Mart store moves into a town, many people's lives are affected.
He then brings up the fact that no one person can do all of the things that a city requires and therefore some people need to specialize at what they are “naturally suited” (370c). then after hearing Adiemantus’ comment on specialization, Socrates brings up the fact that there will be a need for more than 4 people. They then introduce more necessary people into their city such as “…Carpenters, metal workers, and many other craftsman of that sort…” (370d), one important person they introduce is the importer, they then establish that the city “must not only produce enough for themselves at home, but also goods of the right quality and quantity to satisfy the requirements of others…” (371a). They then go on to add more and more people into the city
