The edge city as Garreau describes it is fundamentally impossible without the automobile. It was not until automobile ownership surged in the 1950s, after four decades of fast steady growth, that the edge city became truly possible. Whereas virtually every American central business district (CBD) or secondary downtown that developed around non-motorized transportation or the streetcar has a pedestrian-friendly grid pattern of relatively narrow streets, most edge cities instead have a hierarchical street arrangement centered around pedestrian-hostile arterial roads.

A small town in the thumb region of Michigan that is famous for it many gas stations, pickles, and Mexicans. Surrounding Imlay City are vast fields of muck (or peat) farms, which the Latino people seem to be oddly attracted to. In town there is a surplus of exciting things to do, including and limited to; walking around in the local Kroger without purchasing any items, driving around with your date unsuccessfully looking for something to do, vandalizing property, join a hispanic gang, flirting with middle-schoolers at the local Pizza Machine, and smoking pot. Or that one weird kid that always smells like Ass (the donkey) and never washes his hair.

Six lanes one way, you need in the be in the far right lane, you are in the lane next to that. How do you get to this lane? You shoot to the lane to your left, cut back into your lane, then move three lanes to the left one to the right, then to the far left lane, and then cut straight across to the far right lane and take your exit.

Panorama city is a ghetto/ratchet city in the Los Angeles county mostly mexicans and black people live here no gringos or chinos. Most of Panorama is territory of the Blythe Street Gang (BST) and rivial gang Columbus Street Gang. Schools are wack and ratchet. Full of druggies and hobos and drug dealers. It’s a garbage city that always has chisme on every corner and fights and violence such as domestic violence.
