Linguistic Landscape

The linguistic landscape I will be focusing on would be the neighborhood I truly grew up in which was in Woodside. The reason I chose Woodside is because of its importance to my upbringing and how it shaped me into the person I am today. I moved to the neighborhood when I was just six years old, and since then I have grown very comfortable with my surroundings and will always remember this place to be home. The endless nights I spent outside of my house playing pickup basketball with the other kids in my neighborhood really are good memories I am very fond of. I have built great relationships with these people who are still my friends today. The local deli was not only somewhere that I went to buy lunch and snacks, but also just a place to hang out and talk to good people. Today the neighborhood is not as lively as it used to be, with all the kids now grown up, and places around the neighborhood slowly changing due to the times.
