Granted, I only get my trash can picked up every 4-7 weeks (I recycle like a fiend, BIG TIME!). Be sure to have a copy of your utility bill when coming here, otherwise they'll charge you for using the facilities. There are also recycling bins here as well.

This post office has the most awful couriers who do not pay attention. I've had at least two…read morehandfuls of packages delivered to the wrong mailbox. I have a block style mailbox so the courier has to pay attention to what apartment they are putting it in and somehow can rarely manage to put it in the correct one. It becomes a major inconvenience considering it is items I've ordered that cost money and I have to hope I get them whenever the person who received my package is honest enough to bring it to me. it is currently the holiday season and I need my package between a certain timeframe, I would've gotten it on time had the courier delivered it to the correct apartment. I'm getting entirely fed up with this, and it needs to be corrected.

I can't say enough great things about the Kennewick Army Recruiting Station. I have been traveling…read moreout of state for work since spring of this year, but had so many tasks left to complete for my submission through AMEDD. SSG Christian Perez and everyone here at the Kennewick Army Recruiting Station supported me throughout this process. They were willing to match my effort, and they went above and beyond when I needed it the most. Their willingness to support me reflects the selfless service and brotherhood that so famously defines the Army. Proud and grateful to have completed my Oath of Office with CPT Jordan T. Gilbert and the whole crew at the Kennewick Army Recruiting Station. If you're interested in exploring a future with the army, I highly recommend this recruiting station. You will be in great hands.

We are super lucky in Benton City to have a group of people who care enough to make sure the town…read morehas a nice, proper library. A number of years ago a man passed away and left money and land for a new library. We now have a beautiful library that overlooks the Yakima River. The library has a good selection of books, magazines, and movies. You can request items from other branches and they usually come in a few days. The staff members are super nice and helpful. They have several computers and a meeting room that can be reserved. The restrooms are the cleanest in Benton City. The only downside is that this branch is part of the Mid Columbia system. In the past few years Mid Columbia has instilled a ridiculous fee system. The hours are a bit wacky as well. I guess you take the good with the bad.

It's not comparable to neighborhoods like the French Quarter (New Orleans), Beacon Hill (Boston),…read moreor the Jersey Shore, but who woulda thunk MY neighborhood here in Richland, WA was a "Historic District". But my neighborhood of Alphabet Houses surely has a history tied to this country, and it is kind of cool to put your residence in a historical context. Now, what drove me to write this Yelp was my noticing of historic signs popping up on Van Giesen during my drives to work in the morn. One by one, I started to see little black signs magically appear on the corners of various streets: McPherson Ave, Marshall Ave, Warren Ct, Mahan Ave, etc. Now these signs are due to the effort of a local group honoring veterans, so isn't totally Historic District-related, but it certainly helps for telling the stories history. As for the Alphabet housing. During the war effort of World War II, the small farming of town transformed from a small farming town to a metropolis of secrecy (fuel for the first atomic bombs were built on the Hanford Site). Richland Population: 1943: 500 1945: 25,000 (!!) The huge change in population needed to be handled quickly. Yes, many soldiers were housed in tents and temporary barracks, but scientists, technicians, and management (along with their families), needed honest to goodness homes. An architect from Spokane was given 90 days to design homes and neighborhoods for the huge influx of people: enter the alphabet houses (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/z_1wFu2h3fGTsjBo6jfv2A?select=TfltN_vfiTmYtBImYep2tg). Each home design was assigned a letter (hence the term "alphabet houses"). The houses range from tiny 1-bedroom houses to huge two-story duplexes. (for the record, I live in a 2-story 3bedroom, home known affectionately as an F-House). It's over a half century later, and many of these houses are still around and generally in their original state. Some areas of the district are quaint and DO look historical, but other neighborhoods do look a wee bit ghetto (like my 'hood!). This is home, and it's nice to know the history behind the area. If you ever get the chance, you should drop by the CREHST Museum (http://www.yelp.com/biz/crehst-museum-richland). There's a cool exhibit about the Alphabet Houses.

The alphabet housing "district" in Richland is interesting to say the least - the new small metal…read moresigns giving some history about the street names are neat, but unless you go on a walking tour of the area I can't see how you would read them. This part of town is probably the least expensive part of northern Richland, the houses have been remodeled and modified, a least most of them have, but the area still retains its unique vibe.

Admittedly, the local homeless population sis also aware of this, so my last deuce had the ongoing soundtrack of an old man giving himself a full-body sponge bath in the handicapped stall, but hey, that's what happens when you free shit. The library itself is not bad. It was remodeled a few years ago into a boring, shitty modern building with no character and uncomfortable lounge chairs, but there's books, and it's hard to go wrong with books.

Our family definitely enjoys I'm using this space for leisure, school and social events! The summer months we are enjoying the reading circles, ukulele classes, and simply a place to browse books! The magic of actually looking for books, the smell, and ability to flip pages brings all the stories to life in different ways! We will continue to share our journey.
