My neighborhood is Orland Hills, Illinois. It is a small suburb of Chicago. It is a very small community of about 5,000 people. The people who live there work all over the place. There is not any non-automobile transit. The biggest thing in my town in the Wal-Mart and the strip mall the faces the Wal-Mart. My town is small enough to where you can walk from edge to edge. My town stretches 12 blocks north and south and 6 blocks east and west. We do not have any green infrastructure in my town. The only green things we have are trees and grass.

I do not think there is a center to my town. There is not a center piece to it. There are however edges that are easy to see. The town is made into a rectangle by four streets. Going east and west you can walk my town with ease. North and South may put a little struggle on you but nothing too bad. We have a lot of sidewalks to walk on and there are many trails to bike around on. I do not think I would change anything in my neighborhood for the walkers and bikers. They have a lot of room to do what they want. I would only considered 88^th Ave. to be complete because it has sidewalks, bike lane, and then the street. The street I would say that is unsafe is 159^th Street. Cars go really fast and even with a big sidewalk it is still dangerous.

I see my neighborhood not really changing in fifty years. I see Orland Hills still being a tiny town in-between to big towns (Orland Park and Tinley Park). The town may go green with the town hall and town recreation center, but other than that I do not see anything else going green. Many people may move in and out of the town, but it will still be the same. The town will not grow. It will just be a nice little suburb to families who work around the city of Chicago. The cars that they drive may become greener but other than that nothing else will. I do not plan on living there forever, but it will always be a nice place to call home. The community will always be one that anyone and everyone would want to live in. This is what makes it the best.
