In the pictures of the city you can see that every picture is different. Over the years they changed the cities by adding and taking things away.
In 1875 the city was very old fashioned. It had dirt roads and few buildings. From 1875 to 1910 there were big changes. This was probably because there was a big time period between the pictures. They had more businesses and buildings. They also had brick roads instead of dirt. The town also began to grow population wise too. You can tell because there are more cars, trollies and houses.
In 1935 they had the same buildings. They didn't have any new ones. They just changed them a little bit by painting them. The only thing they changed was the park. After 1910 things pretty much stayed the same.
Before 1970 and 1980 the city got better. But in 1970-1980 things became to go down. There was graffiti, trash, the buildings began to become old, and the whole city began to run down.
That all changed in 1990. They began to fix things up and bring the city up to date.
Cities change according to where you are in time and the city your in. The changes can be big or small.
I think that in 2005 the population, buildings, and houses will grow because the world is growing.
