    "The business development in my neighborhood is at an upward trend. Thereā€™s an annual artwalk and a quaint Southeast Asian community in the center: a handful of excellent Vietnamese and Thai restaurants and retail establishments. Itā€™s mostly comprised of single-family housing, but quite a few apartments and condominiums have popped up in the last 10 years. Needless to say itā€™s quite a diverse and well-planned neighborhood."
