    As I mentioned a little earlier, this area is great because there are so many things to do. Every type of store or restaurant is five minutes driving distance. Additionally, there are so many activities to do. However, the area is extremely congested, and it is only getting worse. Traffic and noise are always a reality.

    I believe that the area that I live in is pretty safe. There are a lot of people, and that can begin to start problems, but I think the police do a good job at protecting us and regulating what is safe and not. No city or town is perfect, but I feel safe in my community and i think most people who live here feel the same way.
    I live in Vienna, which is a small town. It is full of friendly people. There is also lots of different kinds of restaurants, and things to do around town. This area is one of the most diverse areas in the US so it is great to experience the different cultures around us.
