Dear Aldyn Royce, I am writing this letter to inform you of the past and current situations I have experienced working for Costco Wholesale at warehouse 366. First let me start by giving you a bit of background information on my self, I am a 10 year employee and I have enjoyed working for Costco , up until the last 5 years since I relocated to Buford, Georgia. I have been fighting to stay positive with my current warehouse hoping that if given ample time things would change and get better. To my dismay, things have only taken a turn for the worse. I will give you a few examples of situations that have gone unnoticed and have not been taken in a serious matter.
It at one time had connected to the other side of the road until the Interstate came through, then it cut the land in half. So we had the rest of the hill all to our- selves. The nearest neighbor was at least three miles away. There were places that I went to in the woods to relax when I needed to escape from the rest of my siblings, there were
According to the CT State Library, Undercliff Sanatorium originally opened in the early 1930’s and threw much of the 30’s and 40’s. The sanatorium was dedicated exclusively for sick children who were brought there to basically die. During the 1950’s it was turned into a mental intuition for all ages. The Sanatorium closed down in May of 1976. Being abandoned for about a decade now, it can easily be forgotten, but urban legend keeps it alive claiming that the old sanatorium is still in use-by ghost of former patients.
I am happy to learn that the Bronxville Community Planning Committee has set aside funding for renovation of a vacant building or lot for the use of the community. The community has had a longstanding need for a building for a community center since the old community was burnt years ago. The citizen that were most affected by this lost were the senior citizens and the youths. Although there are several buildings available in Bronxville, I would recommend the committee consider a vacant building at 1350 Gunhill Road for proposed community center. The building is large, accessible, and has an associated vacant lot which could also be used.
East London families would travel to Pitsea for a weekend and go home as property owners. Many moved down as their houses were destroyed during the war. In 1925 a local designed mock Tudor buildings; he wanted to imitate a ‘model village’ for families with dreams of a better life. However these plans were interrupted by WW2 and only a few of these
Most people remember the photograph known as the “Migrant Mother”. It became the icon of the Depression. Many remember the “Migrant Mother” picture, but few knew her real name, Florence Owens, or her story. Florence was thirty-two, and her husband, Cleo, was sick. He had come face to face with death in a fight against pneumonia.
This is the interview of a man who uses to be a slave in Jamaica who lives in my hometown of Boynton Beach Florida. I am currently friends with and have been friends for a while. He goes by the name of Marcus gaskin and he now lives in a small community called old Boynton not too far from my neighborhood. He is around the age of 95 and lives in a rundown house with really bad landscaping. He has worked for some local townsfolk doing some grounds keeping and gardening since he was freed when he was 20.
In 1932, in the midst of the Great Depression, Rosa Lee Cunningham's grandparents and parents gave up their North Carolina sharecropping life for an uncertain journey north. Rosa Lee is the link between past and present, between a world that has disappeared and the one that her children and grandchildren face today in Washington. Her life story spans a half-century of hardship in blighted neighborhoods not far from the majestic buildings where policy-makers have largely failed in periodic efforts to break the cycle of poverty. From 1991 to 1994, Leon Dash, an investigative news reporter for The Washington Post, followed Rosa Lee Cunningham and her family to create an intimate portrait of their daily lives. Rosa Lee lived in a world defined by her poverty, illiteracy and criminal
