Richmond, Fort Bend County, Texas. A suburb city about 25 miles southwest of downtown Houston. One of the fastest growing and most diverse counties in the nation. Though Richmond is the county seat (home to the county government and courthouse), it is not the largest city in Fort Bend (that title is held by Sugar Land).

Richmond was once known for its rural atmosphere and miles of undeveloped land with large oak and pecan trees, but this is slowly changing with the growth explosion in Sugar Land and Fort Bend County.

Richmond is situated next to Sugar Land, and likewise, has an affluent population in its eastern section that borders Sugar Land. Some specific, affluent subdivisions include Aliana, Old Orchard, Shiloh Lake Estates, Pecan Grove Plantation, Bridlewood Estates, and parts of Greatwood. This growth is a recent development and is basically due to Sugar Land running out of room to build new affluent communities, so the building is instead happening in Richmond (to the northwest) and Missouri City (to the east).

Richmond is also home to the exclusive Houstonian and Shadow Hawk Country Club and golf course, and George Ranch Historical Park.

Schools: Much of Richmond is in Lamar CISD. But some of the eastern portion is zoned to Fort Bend ISD (FBISD) and attends schools in neighboring Sugar Land.

Kingwood is a large masterplanned community about 20 minutes north of Houston. Kingwood is also referred to as "the livable forest", "the unlivable forest", "the Smokable forest", and "the bubble".
The best reference would be "the bubble". Young people, as well as Kingwood residents seem to have no knowledge of how the world generally operates. Kingwood residents tend to be transfers from upper middle class backgrounds throughout the country. Rarely, is someone who lives in Kingwood actually from Houston, and even more rarely are they from Kingwood. In all my travels I can honestly say that I have never been to a place like Kingwood. On first inspection, all must admitt that it truly is the American dream. However, reality soon hits in for those just passing through and you come to the realization that its all a facad. Kingwood tries to preach inclusion but anything other than a WASP is looked upon with suspicious eyes. Most young people in Kingwood have a truly screwed up mentality, and view themselves as being entitled without even knowing it. First and foremost, to have any degree of success in Kingwood schools you must be white or Asian. The most undesirable secret about Kingwood is that most people are not rich! Yes, there are a large number a very wealthy people in Kingwood but they are the vocal minority. Unfortunately this transfers through the school system. Kids from "Royal Shores", "Deer Ridge Estates" are given this since of entitlement by the s...

Cobh (pronounced Cove) became the country's main emigration port following the Great Famine of 1846 - 1848 Following the visit of Queen Victoria in 1849, the town was renamed Queenstown but in 1921, it reverted to the old name of Cobh.Attractions in the town include St. Colman's Cathedral, a magnificent 19th century Gothic revival and home to the largest Carillon (49-bells), in Ireland and the UK.

Cobh is gradually becoming a satellite town to the nearby Cork City, reflected in the commuter train service and the Rushbrooke–Passage car ferry.
The Port of Cork have announced that Cobh was awarded BEST PORT WELCOME 2010 and BEST DESTINATION EXPERIENCE 2010 in the World.
In the summer month liners visit Cobh on a weekly basis and on many of the weekends the town provide entertainment in the splendid 'promenade' for all the family.
Cobh is a beautiful town and the people are wonderful.

An upper middle class town located in the center of Nassau County, Long Island and known for its, Conservative, Roman-Catholic population. Students at GCHS are known for their work-hard, party-harder mentality, with many getting good grades, being sick at some sport, and then throwing down hard on the weekends. Many sport the preppy look, however their is a growing minority of skaters, goths, and emo kids who stick with each other, but generally everyone gets along pretty nicely. Some live in multi-million dollar plus homes (such as those on the Garden City Golf Club (snob hill), Stewart Avenue, and some in the Estates and Mott) but most live in normal sized 500,000 to million dollar homes on the East Side near Country Life, in the Esates, or in the mott.) Many of the adults are wall street traders, brokers, lawyers, business owners, or doctors. Kids tend to throw down either at a house party or in random outdoor locations. The smart kids and great athletes of gchs tend to end up at Ivy League or similar institutions (Georgetown, Boston College, Notre Dame, NYU, UVA, Lehigh, Bucknell, Loyola, Trinity, Colby, Bowdoin, Haverford, etc.) Other popular choices include Villanova, Fairfield University, and Fordham University. Some at GCHS are stuck up and can be mean but most tend to be pretty laid back and chill. The language of Garden City includes words such as 'shwag' and 'sketchy.' Most athletic recruits are from lax or field hockey, which produce many state champio...
