David Guterson describes in detail the traits and characteristics of an up and coming suburban neighborhood in Nevada. Guterson speaks about the men lining up their golf carts to hit the links, and young boys riding expensive bikes watching tennis on the neighborhood courts. The neighborhood I live in is much different than that of the one ine Green Valley Nevada. I live in Nashville, TN. I live in close proximity of downtown, so the houses are older and vary greatly in style. There are ranch style houses from the 50's, bungalows from the 60's and 70's, and small duplexes from the 80's. Additionally, my neighborhood has become gained much traffic over the past ten years, and new multistory suburban style houses have begun to replace run down older houses. Guterson makes the point that Green Valley is more of a family environment, while my neighborhood is more densly populated by single persons, older couples, and college students. Belmont University and Vanderbilt University are withing walking distance, so the social nightlife is much more focused on adults, rather than familial events.
