Examples My best friend Jessica’s house provides a relaxing escape from the everyday pressures of life and is a place where I can just be myself. I have many wonderful memories of my time playing sports at the old City Park baseball complex.

A lot of really cool stuff goes on that doesn’t take place at any other time of the year. The landscape is truly amazing!
