My Neighborhood

My neighborhood is here in Floresville it is located about 30 miles out side of the San Antonio city limits and is a part of Wilson County and the drive to Palo Alto College is about a good 28 to 35 minutes. Foresville is next to county roads and is close by to Sutherland Springs and about 15 minuets away from Pleasenton and about 5 minuets away from Poth. One of the most notable features about Floresville is that on the second week of October from the 11th to the 13th the town celebrates the Peanut Fest a tradition of the town that has been around since the founding of Floresville. The street that i live on is 3rd Street which is located outside downtown and is a part of the outskirts of town there is not much over in my neighborhood because there are not many house on this street but my house is located across and next to the city cemetery's.

Most of the houses that are here in the neighborhood are fairly maintained and mostly the people that own those houses are of working/middle class, many of the people of those houses do farm work for others or they transport equipment or supplies to other businesses. Since mainly a number of people in my neighborhood are White and Hispanic its is unknown to me about the exact number is unknown.

There are some good features about my neighborhood it is closer to the Pecan Park and close by to Highway 181 were H-E-B and other stores are and my house is close by to a local clinic in case anyone in the family is sick. Some of the development thats is taking place is that there is a Whata Burger being built here so no one will have to drive to San Antonio to get food from there again and there is also a First National Bank that just recently opened as well. I believe that my neighborhood and the rest of the town will benefit from the these new development because the Whata Burger will give the high schoolers a new place to work after school and the bank that was recently opened gave people a new place for their savings.

When I want to have or just go and study i go to either my friends house which he live on C Street where the old post office use to be, or i go to my house which i live on 3rd Street. From the total time i spend to get to my friends house and back to my house is about 5 minutes give it depends if there is no traffic or construction on the way to these location. In town there is not much do for fun which is why sometimes on the weekends we go to San Antonio for fun because Floresville is just quite small town.

However my neighborhood is somewhat of a community even though most of the house that i live by are kinda separated from one another, but i do like living there sometimes because it can be peaceful. In all Floresville is good little town where everyone know everyone and the people are friendly and kind towards one another and is a good place to for the environment.
