What I like about the Far Eastside is that everything is so close to where I live and things are so convenient for me to get. My high school was only up the street and the nearest gas station was only two minutes away. It helped create me into the person that I am today. It allowed me to create the relationships that I have with people and has given me a lot of opportunities. I wouldnt chose to live anywhere else.
