Paridise

My grandma's house is very open. She lives at McNary Estates in a 4 bed, 3 bath house. Her kitchen is my favorite part of the house. Its about a 16x12 ft. spread with an island stove in the middle. It has a big fridge and a huge pantry in the corner. There are granite finished counters and fancy dangly lights. It reeks of amazingly great Mexican food.

Chewy skates, plays ball, video games, says dog a lot and drives a red truck.
He's chill, pretty laid back. Doesn't talk much, kinda quiet. Funny and weird.

Civil Rights Movment

In 1948 President Truman signed an order with it saying "It is hereby declared to be the policy of the President that there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin." He basically started the freedom to all of the U.S. In 1955 a girl by the name of Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat at the front of the "colored section" of a bus to a white passenger. In 1960 four protesters sat at a diner and were not aloud to order anything. Within six months they had changed the way of the diner, swimming pools, theaters, libraries, and other public facilities.

S.C.

South Carolina is on the east coast about 3 states up from Florida. There are few historical marks of this state like in the 1960 The Civil Rights laws ended segregation and protected voting rights of African Americans and other minorities. I've been here before and lived there for a month or so and it's a cool state. The water was cold and the ocean was on the other side but other than that it's not much different from here.
