Fairfield, Connecticut
31.3 square miles
Or 81.4 square kilometers, if you’re not American
Or just into the metric system
41 degrees, 10 minutes, 33 seconds North
73 degrees, 16 minutes, 19 seconds West
It has been around since the beginning
It has seen Americans fighting for freedom from the British
It has been destroyed
It has been in flames
Its houses were burned to the ground
But it lived on
It’s home to beautiful beaches, preppy country clubs, and
wonderful ice cream shops
It’s where youth sports are big
People care about high school athletes
Who won this game or that match is painfully important
It’s a place where music matters
A place where you see often young men and women in tuxedos
and black dresses
You can feel the intensity, and taste the passion as they
sing and play their hearts out
It’s a place that’s in a bit of a bubble
It’s not so diverse
Racially
Religiously
Socially
It’s a place where people can by stuck up and snobby
Along with a major superiority complex
White and wealthy is the demographic
It’s a place you can leave
It’s a place that doesn’t keep you forever
It wants you to branch out and pursue your passions
It hopes you’ll return, but understands if you don’t
It’s a home to some
It’s just another town to others
It’s not too special, but
It’s where I’m from
Really simple and to the point. I liked how you included geographic info. And also personified Fairfield at the end .
