The French, Spanish and Creole people were more liberal than most during this time in history and many “Free People of Color” lived peacefully in the area contributing greatly to the culture of the City. A revolt in Sant Domingue (Hati) in 1709 brought a large influx of immigrants to the city who settled in the French Quarter.

The first location in Miami preformed above recent expectations even in a market where the average consumer is more price conscious (Sutherland). This expansion and success in America can help Earls Richmond by giving the foreign consumer a brand they can identify and trust. Being located inside the Lansdowne mall can be a blessing for Earls. Lansdowne sky train station is located around 600 meters away from Earls Richmond and provides one of the main staples of public transportation for Richmond. Being so close to the skytrain station allows Earls to have a competitive advantage over some of the other restaurants in the area.
The play took place exclusively in Bernard’s apartment living room. The European style apartment was realistic, yet simple with limited distractions. The apartment had wooden floors, carpet, a window, a desk, a sofa, and multiple exits and entrances. Although the window was subtle, it added depth and context to the stage. When it was nighttime, the audience could see that it was dark outside and when it was daytime, the window was lit accordingly.
My town is the exact opposite of a quiet town; something is always happening. Most parts of the town are noisy from around 8.00am to 5.00pm, which is the official working hour, and the streets are very busy. From my bedroom window the beauty of the mountains, always exploring with my eyes the forest or the meadows, looking for a clean and quiet place. Being alone outside of my apartment helped me to dream with my eyes open admiring the blue sky or the clouds. I liked to go out there to lay down on the grass, listen to the wind, kiss the flowers and watch the leaves moving.

The 9/11 Attacks: My Splendor I awoke the morning of September 11th like any other day. Comfortably lying in my bed, warm and snug. I was dreaming and at total peace, oblivious to the world around me. Suddenly, I sprang up to the blaring sound of my pulsating alarm clock. The sun was up and shining into my bed room window.
A City so Grand Between the years of 1850-1890, the city of Boston transformed itself into a model of reform for the rest of the country. Boston became recognized as one of the most prominent and influential cities in the aspects of politics, medicine, science, and commerce. The city also managed to achieve creating an advanced transportation system, taking large steps forward in social activism, and improved education system. Stephen Puleo’s “A City So Grand” perfectly depicts Boston’s transformation from an insulated town into the thriving metropolis it is today. One of Boston’s many impressive achievements that Puleo discusses is how Boston’s social activism greatly improves.
