I decided to check out how the city was laid out, and I found that there
were five main
parts, locally called the West Side, the North End, Uptown, the South End, and East. The
West Side had a lot of businesses, except for a part called the Lower West, which was
mostly homes. The North and South Ends were a lot of apartments; there were a few
businesses, a Hospital and a University in the North End as well. Uptown was busy, all
small businesses, mostly tourist attractions, a few High Schools, and a couple of parks.
East was the bigger businesses. The newest part of the city was part of the East, and was
elegant homes, the richer people lived there. The city also had a Zoo, and a huge park
with an actual lake that you could swim in during the summer.
I didn't really want to live in an apartment with two kids, and I knew there was no way I
could afford one of the houses in the East, so I decided to look in the small towns to the
west of the city. The first one I checked out was Bay-West, it was a beautiful small town
with three public schools, Nicolas and Patrick could go to school for nine years without
leaving the community. There was a doctor's and a dentist's office, and lots of businesses
where I could get a job. Best of all, it was on the water, like Seattle. The only difference
was, in Seattle people were seldom allowed on the beaches. In Bay-West, the beaches
were open to everyone at anytime. I started to look for a small house to live in, it wasn't
too hard to find, either. I know it sounds weird, but the first thing I did, even before we
moved in, was get a ramp built over the stone steps leading to the house. We stayed in the
motel for the rest of the month, because the other family in the house had to move out.
Don't ask me why, but I started to use Logan's wheelchair off and on during the month. I
was sitting in it on April first, 2023, the day we moved in. And I have seldom ventured
far from it since.
