Maycomb in the 30's


   Let’s make an inspection to Maycomb County in the 30's.
Warning: do not read this if you have a good idea of Maycomb County, otherwise, might want to leave immediately.
This old and small town is located in the southern state of Alabama. Since I’m here, I could notice the weather was really veering. From the insufferable heat of the sun in summer, to the most freezing days that I've ever had in his life in winter. But this year was special, with my investigation I could notice that the snow that I was watching in winter was a very strange phenomenon for this county. When I entered, the first thing I saw was the nature filling every corner of the streets and the separation of the white people and black people. The Great Depression hitted very hard this place, even the richest couldn't escape from it. White ones lived in old Victorian houses decorated with porches with Eave dentils and Tuscan columns, while black ones stayed near the dumps in the worst conditions with their children playing in the dirt, also felt bad for them. It seemed that the civil was still having part here. There weren't many cars, but every of them were luxurious and belonging to white people like the Buick Eight, the Packard Eight, or the Rolls-Royce Phantom II. Population was short in number, every one took care of the other but the race segregation was notorious the whole time, even in clothes. The white man wore a suit the whole year doesn't matter if it’s the American summer suit or the London cut, , with beautiful silk handkerchiefs peering out their jacket pockets, but if you were different and individualist, you'd never be in the box( I felt segregated too). 
Finally, I wouldn't recommend a journey to this town, and even more make roots in here because, even if they look as kind and nice as any other person of a lost town, at the end you will notice that everyone is rude, reserved and suspicious.
