Comment Two
After a week of midterms and essays, this week I decided to comment on a blog written by Street Signs. During week three this student visited the city of Chino and Chino Hills. Both of these cities are very close to my hometown of Diamond Bar, California. I have had close ties to the city of Chino Hills for a long time because my grandmother was once a resident of this agricultural suburb. My earliest memories of Chino Hills consist of waking up after spending the night at her house and smelling the cow manure from the local farms. Over the past twenty years, Chino and Chino Hills have both gone from being small agricultural cities to beautiful cities with new housing developments.
This student uses the Chicago
School Model in their blog and describes it as a city with a manufacturing
center, surrounded by slums. This student also discusses how the Chicago School
Model does not apply to any cities in the Los Angeles metropolitan area
including Chino and Chino Hills. This student talks about how these two cities
are post metropolis cities centered on the use of automobiles. This student
correctly uses the terms from the readings and gives accurate examples to give
the reader a better understanding of these important terms from our class. Chino
Hills and Chino are both unique agricultural cities that have now become major
shopping areas for the surrounding cities. I visit the Chino Hills shopping
centers often and I enjoy spending my time there with my family. I always
thought that Chino was an agricultural city; however, after reading this blog I
learned that Chino has been a long producer of milk for the state of
California. This student wrote a well-organized blog that I enjoyed reading and
I look forward to reading more of this student’s blogs in the future.
