I chose to add this picture because it is their single's artwork and the title of the song itself was the name of an annual oldies show in our city. ]]> 2016-05-31 17:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_valdez109/3is9oi0z2g2h/wish/113217422 kimberly_valdez109 https://padlet.com/kimberly_valdez109/3is9oi0z2g2h/wish/113219369 My overall feelings of El Monte is that even though it is a bit ghetto and apparently it is the third poorest city in California, it still feels very welcoming and does not even look all that bad. I like how there's so many little small stores around the city that you can buy things for cheap from. The kids here seems to be very open minded too unlike other cities where they are all so judgmental like how you see in the movies but its not like that here in El Monte. ]]> 2016-05-31 17:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_valdez109/3is9oi0z2g2h/wish/113219369 kimberly_valdez109 https://padlet.com/kimberly_valdez109/3is9oi0z2g2h/wish/113219463 My experiences with the city so far has been kind of bad because whenever i walk around the streets with a few friends there is always some creepy old people whistling at us or even following us around, but other than that I like walking around the city and going to small pop shops or restaurants. There is a park called Zamora with a sign that say the city of trees and i can see why, I like how the city is filled with so much green in the parks and just everywhere in the street. ]]> 2016-05-31 17:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_valdez109/3is9oi0z2g2h/wish/113219463 kimberly_valdez109 https://padlet.com/kimberly_valdez109/3is9oi0z2g2h/wish/113875761 I have a lot of missing homework so I think putting the credit there would help with my grade a bit?]]> 2016-06-07 02:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_valdez109/3is9oi0z2g2h/wish/113875761
