Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities

Big and small towns each have their advantages

This is a comparison of living in a big city vs. a small city.

I used to live in Sacramento, Calif., then I moved to Clovis.

The cons of a big city are the traffic and crime. It was always crowded in Sacramento, anytime of the day, no matter what. And there were always a lot of car accidents.

Also the crime in Sacramento was awful. At my old house, me and my family would see helicopters looking for armed criminals in our neighborhood.

But there were, of course, also pros for the big city. We were only two hours away from the beach, and during the summer there were several amusement parks open.

But this isn’t just an article about Sacramento. There are pros and cons in Clovis, too.

I always see kids from my school at the store and, in my opinion, that’s really awkward.

Also there is not much to do here in Clovis, other than roller skating.

But the pros are there’s never any traffic really. And things are not as expensive here as they are in the big city.

There will always be pros and cons to the big city vs. small city debate.

I’m glad I’ve had the experience of living in both.
