El Segundo, CA

Hi my name is Hope Cruickshank. I am from a small little town right next to the beach called El Segundo. I am a very gregarious person, but our town is a very quite and dull. El Segundo is a safe town located right next to LAX and manhattan beach. El Segundo has many aviation-related and petroleum-related industries and operations. The name for my town was created in 1911 when chevron built his second refinery. The refinery by chevron is directly next to all housing so it is very detrimental to all people due to the fact that a lot of smoke is in the air constantly.

El Segundo has businesses, restaurantes, places to shop and banks everywhere. We are mostly known for our El Segundo Brewing Company that ships and sells all different kinds of beer. El Segundo is a beautiful city to live in, especially since we are so close to the ocean. We have facilities all around our town including parks, roller rinks, baseball fields and more. We are a very close nit town and everyone usually knows you're business. We are right next to the airport so we are constantly hearing planes all day long. Our town is also known for the aerospace head quarters. We have Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and The Aerospace Corporation. 

We have an optimum High School right in the middle of our town. We also have a middle schoo, two elementary schools and about five different preschools. El Segundo has an awesome football team and we actually made it to the finals last year. New buildings and offices are being built everywhere. There are dog parks and a few hotels around the area.
