Week 3

Old Town is a small, beautiful, down to earth place to live. This pictures shows how the town gives off this friendly, old-time feel. I began with the picture in the background because it shows alot about the town itself. The clock tower on the side was located outside an Obrien's restaurant and I felt it was quite rare to see a huge clock tower in a small neighborhood like Old Town. This picture also shows the big brick buildings with shops, restaurants, hair salons, etc. I also noticed that the name Old Town fits because the wooden signs hanging from each shop reminds me of how stores where advertised back in the day. The two Old Town signs were located in various places. The blue sign were located on numerous light poles. When I first arrived those were the first things I saw. They say 'Welcome to Old Town' and it gave me a feel that this town was very relaxed and welcoming. As well as the blue signs there are the huge Old Town arches with the interesting designs. These were located in a few spots these arches have been around for quite some time and seeing them was spectacular. In most neighborhoods and towns the welcoming signs are wooden, dull, and to the point; in this case Old Town welcomed visitors with elaborate arches and what not. The people in this town gave off a sense of friendliness; everyone walking dogs, eating lunch, chatting with friends, or just taking a walk gave off vibe of happiness. The people were saying hello to one another, waving, and no one seemed to be in a huge hurry like most city neighborhoods do. This picture also shows off the colors of the town; everywhere you look you see greens, reds, and blues. The architecture shows off the large, brick buildings surrounding the town showing the reds and browns of the bricks. The many flowers and trees showed off the greens, reds, pink, and purples. The signs and sky in the picture give off the light blues. This picture of Old Town is overall giving off a sense of calmness.
