My Neighborhood at Night
“My Neighbourhood at Night”

As quiet as a college library with street lights as bright as the sun itself, my neighbourhood is one of pure bliss. Whether you go to bed at eight or at eleven, you’ll get to rest peacefully. The beach front is just around the bend at Tianna’s crescent and out the corner so it always feels like Hawaiian breeze sweeping through my windows. The sound of car’s passing through the corner is as rare as a cat and dog playing together. Frogs sitting on my windowsill as if there is a party, the sounds of those slimy green creatures reached me as the faintest of whispers as I slowly rest my eyes in hopes of a dream. Some nights you can smell the aroma of my neighbour’s kitchen from spaghetti and meatballs, to homemade pizza to chicken parmesan that makes your nose curve up in a smile. I can only imagine they do the same, when it’s coming from my kitchen. The sweet, succulent scent keeps you awake at times. It’s like being in the food-court of a mall. Remember the songs that use to make you rock away? Well if you didn’t, my neighbourhood would be sure to remind you on holiday nights. My neighbourhood has a party house, as white as sand with ruby red trim, they always seem to find a way to wake up the neighbourhood on special nights. Crime in my neighbourhood is as low as a shrub in a field full of trees. Not saying we can leave our doors open at night but none the less it is a very safe community.

    The taste of rice and beans, with its different spices and recipes that people put into it, makes it a pure delight just even letting your tongue touch it. Try tasting a well-done “Monfongo” or even a “Pincho” which has bread and chicken pieces together on a stick and on the chicken it has BBQ sauce. Trying feasting on pig meat which is better than chicken. Picture Waking up in the morning to the smell of coffee in the air as it awakes your soul.

    Inside and outside I smelt many scents and aromas. A pleasent scent of chicken, candy yams, buttered corn, and gravy filled the inside of the house. The scent was almost as good as a room full of fresh roses. While the aroma outside was that of grilled chicken, fresh cut grass, and a garden of flowers. It smelled as good as fresh pine trees, or after it rains and the air is fresh. This is what I smelled during dinner.…

    The most common areas that crimes are committed are in areas that are subjected to poverty. Many kids are influenced by the community they live in. Poverty puts a great deal of stress on people and they often lack material things that they need or want. They feel pressured being in a poor society that values material possessions and wealth. For example, generations are brought up in the housing developments and kids are not accustomed to wanting more out of life other that what they are surrounded by daily. Tearing down the old housing developments and involving mix income has become a success in the housing system. Crime has dropped drastically in the new developments and hopefully soon they will all be torn down and replaced with the modern apartment style…

    I have been awake before dawn at 0645 am all thanks to the scream therapy in the shower, I am washed by the cool air, air which seems that no one is breathing yet. I know where I am suddenly, I am part of this quiet and beautiful town and I am happy. Suddenly, the pure melancholy, first blue of morning begins. The air where one can bathe in. the electric shriek of a train, heels on sidewalks. The first birds. I am part of this town now.…

    The shared characteristics of people in high-crime communities lead to an inability of the residents to apply effective social control. It’s a shame to say but young people are not given the education or guidance that helps them to develop self-control or social conformity. A lack of investment in the community means that residents are unlikely to form organizations that might give control to the area. Crime rates then skyrocket because the community is largely unregulated by the individuals who basically have…
