The Taylor family lived in Brownsville for many years. And for many years, Brownsville was a very good place to live. The streets were clean, the parks were safe, the bus system was reliable, and the schools were good. But Brownsville changed. Today the streets aren’t as clean as they used to be. They parks aren’t as sage as they used to be. The bus system isn’t as reliable as it used to be. And the schools aren’t as good as they used to be.

Because of the changes in Brownsville, the Taylor moved to Newport last year. In Newport the streets are cleaner, the parks are safer, then bus system is more reliable, and the schools are better. The Taylors are happy in Newport, but they were happier in Brownsville. Although Newport has cleaner street, safer parks, a more reliable bus system, and better schools. Brownsville has friendlier people. They’re nicer, more polite, and more hospital than the people in Newport.

The Taylors miss Brownsville. Even though they’re now living in Newport, Brownsville will always be their real home.
