From the outside Alameda can look scary but on the inside...well its still sort of scary but for different reasons. In a "small" city of a little over seventy thousand it can seem "barren" but I look at the housing and the community like Powerlight computers, Jim's coffee shop, south shore central...I mean Alameda town center and the wild life community much like an extended part of my own house. There hasn’t been too much of a need to work on our appearance except maybe a little up keep here or there and the big changes that have been made enhance not change our city. Sure we remodeled our mall of the mall from south shore central to Alameda town center but it still remained an outdoor mall. We also saw renovations to the Dunes apartment housing which made it much more aesthetically marketable but what always made it so wonderful is the actual layout which was not changed. Even though Alameda to me is home I know to many it can seem scary but that just makes me feel like I’m living in a haunted house and friends with all the scary monsters there, it really brings home the feeling don’t judge a book by its cover.
A lot of qualities Alameda carries I inherited. For example a lot of people might think Alameda is like a sort of Hitchcock film city, meaning that it’s eerie and scary and I feel people look at me the same way with misunderstanding. Once they see me welcome them, much like Alameda does when you get to know it, I do everything I can to offer whomever comes my way whatever I can. In many ways I want to spend the rest of my days in Alameda because it truly is the one place on earth I’ve found that I truly call home. I am who I am because of the neighborhood I lived in.
