Why I like living in Beaumont-Wilshire

Creative Kids

Hi, my name is Max and I’ve lived in Beaumont-Wilshire for three years. At first I said I did not want to move here. I lived down the street in the Grant Park neighborhood, and I went to Beverly Cleary School. I still go there and the reason we moved is because my mom and dad split up and we were renovating the house and the person living here moved out so we moved right on in. Now I love it, and here’s why I love my neighborhood:

  • There is a pizza place.
  • There is a game store.
  • I have a lot of friends here.
  • I love Bagel Land. I think it is awesome (my mom disagrees, but she is from New York so I get it).
  • The church that I go to isn’t far from here. (St. Rose)
  • WILSHIRE PARK!!! I love Wilshire Park because we run there, we bike there, and I have camps there.
  • I have great neighbors!

Max is almost 10 years old. He likes to draw, ski, mountain bike, and play basketball and baseball. He likes to sing and knows a lot of ’80s music.
