My hometown.

I was stuck on ideas to write about, so I Googled some topics. One of the things I saw was "Your Hometown", therefore I'm going to write about my hometown.
I grew up in a neighborhood in Wetumpka, Alabama, in the same house my mom grew up in. With only a few kids living in the neighborhood, I spent most of my time at their houses. All the parents got along and knew each other very well, so there was never a problem with all the kids playing together at each other's house. Even though, all of those friends moved away and I'm still living in the same house, I still talk to them every now and then. My hometown itself, is a pretty small town, not as small as others but is small enough t o know a good bit if the people in the community. Although the school I went to was a few miles out of Wetumpka, I still knew a lot of the people that went to Wetumpka. I also came to know a lot of people through city league baseball and softball when my brother and I played. Every year I had somebody on my team that I had played with before. I like my hometown especially because not only do I know a lot of the people, but there it also things every year such as the Christmas parade, pageants, New Years' Eve festivities and so many more things that the whole community got together for. A lot of people couldn't wait to get away from the small town of Wetumpka, but I on the other hand, don't want to leave my hometown where all my friends and family live.
