My town compared to Green Valley

David Guterson says the suburb of Green Valley, Nevada had houses that were basically the mirror image of one another; however, in the town that I grew up in, Tullahoma, TN, the houses are uniquely different from one another, but in rare cases, the houses must be of similar architecture. Guterson also talks about how the neighborhood is much like a labyrinth. My town is very similar. There are two sides of Tullahoma, the east and the west, both of which are completely different from each other. One needs a map just to know where to go and how to get there. Guterson also says how yellow school buses pick the children up to take them to school, but in Tullahoma, there is no public transportation to and from school. Guterson also says how each community in Green Valley has it's own restrictions. In the little town of Tullahoma, restrictions are only found in the wealthiest parts of town.
