Designing a Town in First Grade

Location, location, location!
Our first grade city planners put a lot of thought into their fictitious town, thinking about the needs of the residents and where things should be located.

First and foremost, they put the "Nine One One Center" in the middle, so everyone could easily be reached in case of emergency.

Next, they made sure to include an apartment building where everyone could live. For all of those working parents, they placed a daycare close to the apartment building, along with a pet store (because pets are family too). Not too far from there is a bookstore, which is always fun to visit. 

A nice, big gym is easily accessible to the apartment building along with a restaurant. (There is another restaurant on the other side of town to accommodate everyone who wants to go out for a nice meal.) The mall is also nicely situated right next to the apartment building, and just a few doors down is the grocery store. 

The auto shop/gas station is across town, but the bank is right next door to it, because you know how gas prices are these days. They couldn't forget to include a hospital to care for the residents, and a nail salon next door in case someone would like to get their nails done before visiting any sick loved ones. 

Wilmington Friends School is the lovely little building in blue (GO BLUE!) which has a wonderful, large spa next door. Perhaps for the teachers to relax and rejuvenate after a busy week at school? Good thinking, Friends!
