I decided to choose to write about Palm Springs and Sacramento because I have visited both cities so I wanted to see what kind of information I could find on each inland city to help answer the questions and see what the outcome is.
What are some assumptions/stereotypes you think people have of each location:
Well even though these two inland areas have various similarities and differences, I think people get varied opinions on them which makes it interesting to look at both cities. Sacramento is considered to be a semi-metropolitan city but it happens to be the capitol of California. It only has approximately 475,000 people. Where Palm Springs only has a population of 42,807. So they are quite different but are considered inland cities. Sacramento has a huge diverse population, that ranges from college students, government employees, families, singles, etc. Palm Springs is considered to have a large retirement and gay/lesbian community. The median income is $35,973 for Palm Springs and $37,049 for Sacramento, so that isn't a big difference at all.
List 3 things that make each location similar:
Both Palm Springs and Sacramento are similar in that they have diverse cultures, weather patterns, and have a variety of arts and culture to take advantage of.
List 3 things that make each location so different:
Being that Sacramento is the capitol of California, it is a faster paced lifestyle than Palm Springs. There is more to a bigger city such as public transit, variety of education, and living closer to the Sierras and the Bay Area. There is more to offer living in the Sacramento area than Palm Springs.
What else would you like to know about these places?
I would like to be able to research them further as far as what are the major advantages of living in either city for retirement. It seems that when people retire in California, they tend to move inland for inexpensive housing to make their dollar go further. Both cities have advantages and many things to offer the retirement community depending on what interests you have and what type of atmosphere you desire.
Using your classmates work from last week, tell us one thing you learned from 1 student. Is this one thing some common experience you share or some experience that is completely different than what you experienced?
I learned from reading Ryan's blog that there are special features at AT&T park in San Francisco. Even though I have been there a few times, I didn't realize or take the time to learn more about that park. It was interesting to read his blog about AT&T park!
The ballpark is identified by several defining characteristics. One the large Coca Cola Slide located beyond the bleachers. Most notably is McCovey Cove named after Willie McCovey which is a small section of the bay that hitters can, if they have the power, blast a homerun into. This is called a splash hit.
