Bozeman - New York, New York – by Willy Totten
    Bozeman is a great place for fun. There is Bridger Bowl, which is one of the best places to ski. The snow is always thick and perfect to ski and snowboard. There are many good schools in Bozeman, like Sacajawea Middle School, Irving, Hawthorne, MSU, Chief Joseph and Longfellow. Bozeman also is the perfect spot to hike, and the best thing is that Yellowstone is not far away.
    New York is a bustling city to live in, but it has some very nice art museums. Don’t forget the theatres. There are major sports events also. Because it’s so big, it’s a great place for business. Apple has a very good store there.  My Dad’s cousin lives there and has a film class called Pation (sp??) Production. They make very nice films and sometimes scary films. New York is a good place to live.
    New York, I guess, would be a great place to live. The bad thing about New York is that it is really busy. There are so many businesses. It’s probably a nice place to live except that most people live in apartments.  Some people live in houses but not everybody. New York is a pretty nice place to live.

Bozeman - Westport, Massachusetts – by Olivia
    I think that Bozeman is a wonderful place to live because it is very old, and it is in the Rocky Mountains. Other reasons it’s a great place are that it has an interesting history --Lewis and Clark traveled through it before it was established. It is also surrounded by many beautiful rivers, geysers and forests. Bozeman is awesome.
    There are many things that make Westport, Massachusetts special. It has lots of trees, and it is right by the ocean, and a beautiful beach, and it has beautiful scenery. It has an estuary and is only an hour from Boston. It’s really fun to go to the beach and swim out to a giant rock and jump off the top. It’s really fun to ride bikes down to the little store and buy candy. I love Westport!
    I would rather live in Westport because it is closer to all my family, is closer to past moved friends, and is right by the ocean. It is a small town, and the people there are very friendly. Westport, MA rocks!

Bozeman -  Bennington, Vermont – by Hailey
    “Are we there yet, Mom? I’m bored. What’s the point of moving from Bennington, Vermont, to Bozeman, Montana, anyway?”  “Well, one of the cool and special things is that you can sometimes see art on the road. Did you know that John Bozeman traveled through Bozeman, and Bozeman was named after him? Nelson Story lived in Bozeman and so many other famous people lived there. Since you love art so much, we can get you any kind of art lesson you want, etc.” Mom won’t stop talking about how great Bozeman is and how I am going to live it so much.
    I just don’t understand why we can’t stay in Bennington, Vermont. In Vermont the mountains are really green, and that’s why people call Vermont the “Green Mountain State.”  Vermont is top-ranked for making maple syrup. A lot of our family lives there. They have birds the size of a small snowball. I know that Bozeman is a beautiful place, but Vermont is the place for me!
    Of course, everybody wants to live there, right? I mean who wouldn’t? A president grew up there. Bennington Monument is in Bennington, Vermont. There are so many amazing sites to see. It’s also very beautiful. That’s why we need to go back to Vermont.

Bozeman - Santa Cruz, California – by Elise
    Here are a few things that I think make Bozeman special. You can go skiing near Bozeman. It snows even in downtown Bozeman. It still is a smallish town. It is a wonderful place to raise a family. Bozeman is a nice little town, but let’s see what you think of Santa Cruz.
    Here is some special stuff about Santa Cruz. The ocean is there in Santa Cruz. There is a boardwalk to go to. You can go surfing or boogie boarding. There are also redwood trees in the mountains. The weather is a little less harsh compared to Bozeman. They are both great places to live.
    Here are some reasons I would choose Santa Cruz to live in. Santa Cruz has nicer weather. Santa Cruz is near the ocean, and I love the ocean. There is boogie boarding also. I like the sorts of trees that grow in Santa Cruz, like redwoods that grow in the mountains, and I also like the palm trees that grow near the city and beach. Those are the reasons I would choose. What are your reasons?

Bozeman – Missoula – by Ellie
    There are many things that make Bozeman special. We have mountains, and we live in a valley. I love the beautiful scenery. The first people that lived here were famous. All the elementary schools were named after poets. That’s why Bozeman is special to me.
    Missoula is also special because my cousins live there. There is a cool river that runs through the whole town. They have sweet pool. In downtown Missoula there’s a nice carousel. Lastly, there are lots of deer. That’s why Missoula is special to me.
    This is why someone would not want to live in Missoula: The people that live there are grizzly fans. Missoula smells really bad. In Missoula there are a lot of people. They are spread out all over town and through the big valley. That’s why someone would not want to live in Missoula.

Bozeman – Helena – by Clair May
    Bozeman is a special place. It has three ski resorts close by. Bozeman has a lot of outdoor activities. There are a lot of beautiful old houses. Bozeman has a ton of interesting history. There is a co-op. Bozeman is a very wonderful town.   
    Helena is a special place. It is a very wonderful town. The Montana state capital is Helena. There are a ton of old historical houses. Helena has many old historical houses. There are really good restaurants. I think that Helena is a very interesting town.
    Helena is a place where people would want to live because it has old beautiful houses. Helena is close to other towns. There is a ski hill nearby. I think that Helena is a town that other people would want to live in.

Bozeman - Rome, Italy – by Ryan
    I love Bozeman. One cool thing about the town is that it’s named after John Bozeman who was a man from Georgia who died here. If you ever come to Bozeman, make sure you stay until winter because it’s got great skiing and snowboarding. When it gets hot again, you can go to the Swim Center, and did I mention Bridger Ridge Ice Cream? They have the best ice cream here. If animals are your thing, you will love it here because we take dogs almost everywhere.
    Rome is a pretty cool place also. It’s got a museum that has a statue of David. If you ever go there, there’s a church that has three different stone colors- green, pink and white. Another cool thing about Rome is that it has a statue of Perseus and Neptune and there’s this bridge called Ponte Vecchio, which means old bridge.
    There are a few reasons I think someone would live in Rome. It has great food, a great landscape and the pace of life seems slower. Everything is not hurry, hurry. I, for one, love the architecture and the gelato is great! Well, those are two places that I love.

Bozeman - Salt Lake City, Utah – by Gabriel
    I am comparing Bozeman to Salt Lake City. Here are some things that make Bozeman special. Bozeman has a very nice library. It has a huge selection of books. Bozeman bike trails are everywhere. Some are the Gallagator, Sourdough, and Pete’s Hill. Bozeman has great skiing in the mountains and at Lindley Park. The Main Street of Bozeman is really nice. There are many shops on each side of the street. These are a few of the many things that Bozeman has to offer.
    These are some things that make Salt Lake City special. In Salt Lake City there are many parks, all of which are very well kept. There is a lot of hiking in the Wasatch Mountains. The Wasatch Mountains also have fabulous skiing. There are many National Parks near Salt Like, like Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands and Arches. These are all in the Red Rock country and have many canyons. Real Salt Lake (?) also plays soccer in Utah. These are a few of the many things Salt Lake has to offer.
    These are some reasons people would pick Bozeman to live in. The skiing is fantastic, and the new library has a great selection of books. All of the scenery around Bozeman is beautiful.


Bozeman – Salt Lake City, Utah – by Molly
    Bozeman is a very interesting and special town for many reasons. Some of the things that make Bozeman special are the Museum of the Rockies and its trails. We’re lucky to still have great trails and hikes in Bozeman. The Museum of the Rockies is special for its history and fabulous exhibits. Also, people come to Bozeman for the beauty of the mountains that surround it. Another reason is for its small town safeness. The city also has good air quality. That’s why people love it here.
    Bozeman is a quiet, beautiful town, but other cities are special, too. Salt Lake City is one of those. Salt Lake is in Utah and has a lot of cool highlights that make up the town. Utah’s Hogle Zoo displays wonderful animals. There’s also Lagoon Theme Park. Its roller coasters will blow your socks off! Another highlight is IKEA, a huge store filled with almost everything! People also love Salt Lake’s wide streets. Lots of cars can pile onto the busy highways. Its lovely climate also makes this an enjoyable place. Salt Lake welcomes people with its beauty.
    Bozeman is a very nice place to live in – but why not Salt Lake? Bozeman, Montana, is smaller than other cities, opening the opportunities of easy traffic and nice driving. With it being small, it’s safer too. For families that need a getaway that’s safe and friendly, come to Bozeman!  Also, Bozeman’s beauty is irresistible. This town has great schooling, too! When the great outdoor activities come in as a top favorite, Bozeman is perfect for the whole family.

Bozeman - Washington, DC – by Hadley
    Bozeman is special because it’s small and comfortable. There’s also people you won’t find anywhere else. Like John Bozeman. He died but I wish I could meet him. Bozeman also has really good schools, and that’s why I live in Bozeman.
    My Dad lives in Washington, DC, so I know a lot about it. I’d live in Washington because there’s a lot of water parks and theme parks. I really love the museums and they’re free! When I was there, we went to the ocean and that was lots of fun. It’s a huge city, so that’s why I love Washington, DC.
    I think that people should live in Bozeman because it’s safe and it has great schools, pools and tons of trails. When you are in 5th grade, you get to do band and orchestra. There are also lots and lots of skiing hills at Bridger Bowl. I love skiing there in the winter. So that is why you should live in Bozeman. See you at Bridger Bowl!

Bozeman – Minneapolis, Minnesota – by Michael
    There are a lot of special things about Bozeman. Every winter I go to Bridge Bowl to ski. Then every year in the summer we have the Sweet Pea parade where we run around and have fun! Bozeman has some amazing history. You know when I was talking about Bridger Bowl, well, we get a lot of snow around here. This is a very nice place to live.
    There are things that make Minneapolis special too. The one place that I like in Minneapolis is the Mall of America. Minneapolis is a very big city. They have the best football team in the world- the Minnesota Vikings! Minneapolis has a lot of stores. Minnesota has a lot of big colleges. That’s why Minneapolis is special.
    If I had to choose between Bozeman and Minneapolis, I would choose Minneapolis because it’s a nice big city. There’s a ton of people. There are nice colleges.  There’s the best football team ever. There are nice people. That’s why I would choose Minneapolis.

Bozeman – Great Falls – by David
    Bozeman has interesting history-lots of things happen. In October, bears come into town. I also like Bozeman because I live there and I have lots of friends there. The things that make Bozeman less special are the construction, the homeless people, the loud parties and the small amount of police officers. There are a lot of lost animals.
    Great Falls is a great place. Great Falls has the Great Falls and a big river with a trail and park alongside it. My grandpa is there to. There are many people and birds in Great Falls.
    You should pick the South part of Bozeman to live in. There’s a lot of my classmates there. It’s usually quiet, but in the summer you can hear Sweet Pea music. It’s near school. That’s why I would choose Bozeman to live in.

Bozeman – Niantic, Connecticut – by Bryan
    There are many things that I like about Bozeman. There are lots of great hiking and biking trails in town and near town, like Hyalite. Our climbing rock is the best. Bridger Bowl is a great place if you like skiing or snowboarding. Bozeman has many good schools. There is an excellent ice cream and sandwich shop called Pickle Barrel. Main Street has many shops and is fun to walk along. Last, but not least, Bozeman is an easy drive from Yellowstone.
    I would like to tell you about a small town in Connecticut called Niantic (Old Black Point). I visit with my cousins and grandparents there every summer. The house is on the Long Island Sound and has beautiful views of the water and boats. You can go swimming, biking and crabbing there. The town library has a great selection of books, and I like the movie theatre. I think there are a few pretty good schools nearby.
    Now I’m going to tell you why someone would live in Connecticut. You can go swimming and fishing in the ocean. Many people are friendly. It is not busy like New York City and the air is nice and clean. Old Black Point is a great place to visit and live.

Bozeman - Tarzana, California – by Riley
    Bozeman is a very special place. Things that make Bozeman special are the Heart of the Valley animal shelter. What is awesome about that is that it takes in animals. Miniature golf is fun, because it gives you something to do. When you want to relax, you can watch the sunset. When you want o see something, look out your window for a cool view. And there are always nice people. There’s Bozeman.
    Tarzana is also a very special place. These are things that make Tarzana special. On a hot day or you just want to have fun, you can go to a water park. It’s also 45 minutes from Disneyland.  You can go take a swim in your back yard. There are a lot of really nice people. There is great food. There’s Tarzana.
    There are reasons a person would pick Tarzana. Here are the reasons.  There are great restaurants, water parks, lots of different people, and animals at the L.A. zoo. It’s pretty and really sunny.

Bozeman – Omaha, Nebraska and Bountiful, Nebraska – by Amber
    I think that Bozeman is pretty special because it has some cool stuff. So, it has MSU and there’s a ski resort 20 minutes away. The scenery is pretty. Bozeman also has fun carnivals. I also like its schools. The school that I went to in Omaha before I moved to a new school was like a military school. I still miss it.
    The city that I lived in before was really big and was called Omaha, Nebraska. Omaha has the college world series! In the winter Omaha has really fun sledding hills! Most my friends live there. I miss Omaha.
    The other place that I would live in is Bountiful. Bountiful is one of my favorite places. It is so pretty. Many of my relatives live there! What’s part of the prettiness is there’s a temple. Bountiful is very lucky because it has lagoon. Lagoon is very fun and popular. My favorite ride is cliffhanger. I love Bountiful.

Aurora is a really special city to live in for all these reasons.
    There are many reasons why people would pick Bozeman, Montana, to live in. There are many nice people, like my teacher Mrs. Babcock. Every time you need to run an errand, you don’t have to waste time driving for too long. It’s a ten minute ride most of the time. Here in Bozeman there is a lot of open space to do many things.

Bozeman – Moab, Utah – by Bridget
    I love Bozeman and the things inside it, and this is what I like. There are many great hiking and bushwhacking places. Also Bridge Bowl allows me to snowboard all day. Bohart Ranch let me speed up and down on my Nordic skis. The Bozeman Tracks Club is an organization that lets me join with my friends to do a sport I love. Lastly, I love the climbing boulder so I can show my sister how climbing really is done. Now you can see why I love Bozeman.
    Moab, Utah, is a beautiful place and is great for me and my family to visit. There is Arches National Park, with a campground inside that is conveniently close to hiking trails.  Plus there are beautiful sandstone arches like Delicate Arch. Also there’s a terrain park on the slick rock, so that my family can get some exercise. Last, of course, is the T-shirt shop. Moab really is a beautiful place.
    Bozeman truly is a beautiful place and this is why a person would want to live here. First, I live here and everybody loves me. Second of all, the schools are great, so you can get a good education. Of course, a person would like to live here because the community is nice so you can make friends easily. Maybe someone would like Bozeman because we have a pet adoption center. Last but not least, the houses are great. I think that you would like to live in Bozeman.

Bozeman - Chicago, Illinois – by Arlen
    Bozeman and Chicago are both very special. I like Bozeman because it has a lot of Western history, such as the wagon train, the Indians, and of course, C.M. Russell. Bozeman is also named after John Bozeman, who is a very historical person. There are also great mountains that have great ski hills, such as Bridger Bowl. Bozeman also has a great hot springs called Bozeman Hot Springs.
    There are some pretty cool things about Chicago, too. Chicago has a lot of gangster history, all about gangs and thugs. I don’t know too much about it, but it’s still cool. There are a lot of sky scrapers that when you have a high room in an apartment you have an awesome view. The hotels are great and the restaurants are even better. Chicago also has three Children’s Museums, all of which are fun to play at. There is also something that I bet you do not know about Chicago. Chicago us an Indian word for “stinky cabbage,” which I think is very weird but interesting.
    If someone wanted to live somewhere other than Bozeman, they might consider living in Chicago for three reasons: 1) There is great nightlife – music, food, dancing, theater- you name it. 2) The cultural activities are amazing – museums, libraries, opera, symphony, and universities. 3) Let’s not forget Lincoln Park on Lake Michigan. There is also the Lincoln Park Zoo.  I have been to a lot of these places, all of which are cool and fun. I love Chicago as well as Bozeman.

Bozeman – Carlsbad, California – by Natalie
    In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy says, “There’s no place like home.” So if you live in Bozeman, there is no place like home. Bozeman is special because it was started and named after John Bozeman. We also have many historical houses and stores. It’s really beautiful in the mountains in summer, winter, spring and fall. We also have weather that fits with the season; it snows in the winter, or it’s hot in the summer, unlike Arizona or Antarctica. Bozeman is a great place to visit in any season.
    Carlsbad, California is the best place to go in the summer! It’s right near the ocean and has many hotels looking right onto the beach. Sometimes really early in the morning, you can see dolphins or whales moving along the shore. At sunset, walks along the beach are irresistible. So are the shells and rocks. So who wouldn’t come to Carlsbad?
    Carlsbad is one of my choices to live when I grow up. What about you? I would live there because it’s warm, and if you get too warm, you can jump in the ocean. If you are looking for round, smooth rocks, then you should honestly visit. There are lots of big waves, and the water is the perfect temperature. If you want to live near an ocean, Carlsbad is right for you!

Bozeman - Prescott, Arizona – by Cole
    Bozeman is special in its own little way. For example, it is close to Yellowstone National Park. The seasons are beautiful. There are lots of outdoor activities and games to play. People are very nice in Bozeman.
    Prescott, Arizona, is special to me because my grandma and grandpa live there. To the people of Prescott, it is special because the Grand Canyon is close by.  Downtown is amazing, with lots of stores and a courtyard. It has as many people as Bozeman has and maybe more. The restaurants are very good. The schools are just as good as Bozeman’s schools.
    You would want to live in Prescott because the weather is warm but not too warm. It does snow sometimes, though.  They have good schools in Prescott. There are many activities in Prescott, such as football, horseback riding, and lots of others. Day trips are always a choice to have fun. You can go to Flagstaff, Sedona and lots of other places. Well, Prescott sounds like a fun place.

Bozeman – St. Louis, Missouri – by Margot
    Bozeman is the best town ever!  But I’ll tell you about a town that you might have second thoughts about! The things that I think make Bozeman special are that this town has so many historical features. Another special thing is that I live here. That makes it really special for me. I also love looking out my windows and seeing the mountains and the beautiful landscape that we have here. My favorite thing is the ski hills, because I love to ski! This is why I love Bozeman.
    Now you’ve heard about Bozeman, I’ll tell you about something a little more southeast, like St. Louis, Missouri.  I think that St. Louis is awesome because my Mom was born there. My cousins also live there. Okay, I know that water skiing might not be as fun as snow skiing, but it’s better than nothing!  They also have the best amusement park called Six Flags! It’s awesome! St. Louis is also very historical. Even though I love Bozeman, this is making me want to move there.
    People do live in St. Louis, so there are good reasons to live there! Here are a few. Lewis and Clark came through this city. The area has a bunch of lakes. There’s so much you can do in them. They also have the most amazing caves. Museums are really cool here and very interesting and popular! Finally, the best part of Sr. Louis is the Arch! The Arch is a huge curved structure that you can go up to the top – it’s so scary! There’s also the baseball, because baseball is really popular in Missouri. Now you see that Bozeman is not the coolest city after all!

Bozeman – Seattle, Washington – by Evan
    Bozeman is a special place to live, and I will tell you why. There are beautiful mountains that you can hike and ski on. The rivers near Bozeman have some of the best fishing holes. Overall it’s special because of the outdoor recreation. Another reason Bozeman is special is because of the good schools. Bozeman also has a university, Montana State University. Bozeman is a great place to live.
    Seattle, Washington, has a lot of special things about it too. The Space Needle is a great landmark.  There are many skyscrapers. It also has a waterfront. In Seattle there is a cool aquarium. Pike’s Place market is a cool market place on the beach.  The Puget Sound, which leads to the ocean, is amazing too. Seattle has some neat things also.
    There are reasons that I would Bozeman to live in instead of Seattle. There are fewer people. The mountain views are amazing in the winter. The lifestyle is much slower and not rushed as fast. Animals like elk, deer, and moose live near by. Hunting in the mountains is a blast and you get a good hike. The outdoors is beautiful. Bozeman is my place.

Bozeman – New York, New York – by Dani
    Bozeman is a great place to live and there are a lot of things that make it special. One of the things is the snow. Another is Longfellow school and the Longfellow neighborhood, with all the old houses. If you love skiing, you can go to Bridger Bowl! There is also the Sweet Pea Festival if you want to have fun during the summer. Bozeman is a great place to live.
    Now let’s hear about New York City. New York is a great place to live, too! There is the shopping (they must have great shoes). Also there is Broadway and Central Park. While you are in New York, you can see the Empire State building and the Statue of Liberty. New York is a great place to live with a lot of fun activities.
    Here are some of the reasons that a person would pick New York to live in. One is that if you wanted an acting career, a popular place like New York is a great place to live. You might also have family in New York. Also in New York some of the playgrounds are on the roof. There is Central Park also. Some people might want to practice their burglar defense systems. New York is the place for me!
