This city is where I met my best friend to this day. I moved here and started school and the people were so kind to me. It didn’t take long to make friends and to be roaming around the city as a high school senior. The fun that I had here with my best friend was legendary. We would go to the mall and just shop and eat till we dropped. The food is so good that you will never ever want to stop eating and the restaurants will satisfy any craving. The city seemed bigger than what it was during the night as the clubs and parties here were always lively.
