Fort Wayne

Fort Wayne is quite an interesting city. I have been here almost a year and a half.

I moved here from Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Upper Marlboro is about 30 miles or less south of DC. It is a quiet equestrian town where you still find farm equipment on the road, while you can glance at the nations capital.

The name does fit, it used to be a great tobacco plantation. However, due to backwards economics, they do not grow tobacco anymore. How exactly can the government make money when they give money to people who give them the most money so they don't make money? I guess that is why I cannot study economics, classical economics is interesting to say the least.

So growing up in Puerto Rico, watching an economy run on tourism and some farming; to Maryland, to Fort Wayne, Indiana. It is an interesting city.

Fort Wayne is like a small town with the feel of a big city. I like Fort Wayne.

The weather is interesting too. For some reason, it can't settle on a single type. Cold, Warm, Hot, Cold, Freezing, Hot, etc. There is no time to get used to it; however, I still like Fort Wayne.
