Neighborhood stores

Today when we went around the neighborhood to different corner stores we found that almost all of them sold junk food. We visited Food Way which had beer, hair products, candies, a deli, bread, drinks, and even some fruits. We also went to the Chinese store which had chinese food, drinks, candy, and cigarettes. The last store that we visited was 7-eleven. At 7-eleven they had donuts, candy, drinks, slurpies, coffe, and even apples and bannanas. The difference between the three corner stores and Fresh Grocer is that Fresh Grocer has more organic items. My ideal corner store would be one one with both fresh foods and some sweets, a nutritious balance of foods, and reasonable prices.

Corner Store

FOOD WAY, CHINESE STORE & 7-ELEVEN

At the corner store their was a variety of different things. They had things from hair products to beer. The similarities with all 3 stores is that each one contained junk food. The Fresh Grocer had many of healthy things while the corner stores had barely any. There are many corner stores in the city because they are quick and easy to get to. My ideal corner store has plenty of fruit, veggies and meats.

Today we went to a couple corner stores to see what kind of foods they sold. Most of them sold foods that weren’t that healthy like potato chips& candy bars. As we kept checking more stores there were some surprising improvements. I started to see corner stores with fruits and vegetables in them. There was fresh meat for hoagies. One store we came across was owned by Asians and there happen to be a whole bar in the back of the store. You got your veggies and Liquor in the same place. I learned that every corner store is not the same and that some stores do contain healthy foods.

Mapping

Yesterday, I learned a little something new about maps. First I walked to Liacourse Walk so I could get a good visual of it. I drew my own map of how to get to Liacourse Walk from Anderson Hall. I'm not a perfect drawer but, I know I did my best. Later on that day, a gentlemen name Nick came into my class and spoke to my members and me about maps. He explained that there were three main different maps. One was a physical map which shows more of the landscapes of an area like the valleys and mountains. The other type of map was Political which showed the actual separation between states and cities. The final type of map was Thematic, which are most of the time color coded to represent different things. For example you could be trying to show how many people in different states are vegetarians. Basically the day went well and I enjoyed Nicks' presentation on maps. Maybe I can use what I learn to make a better map.
