The Story Of 50.
Personal memory by Giovanna Vittone

Where I live, there was a whole state road called Cortez Boulevard (50 for short) dedicated to trees and trees for miles. In the recent years, almost every single one of those trees have been torn down to create some luxuries such as restaurants, auto-shops, car washes, etc. I'm not gonna lie, it is nice and very convenient having all these things so close to home but in the long run, it's sad that almost all of the beautiful nature and potential exploration destinations have been torn down for things that aren't necessarily needed.
