Visit to Maycomb in the 30´s

"Maycomb is a little and beutiful old town located in the southern state Alabama. In this town theres all types of weathers, from sunny days to storms and tornados. When I arrived to Maycomb the first thing that called my attention where the house, the old victorian houses remembered me my days in England, but there where few people in town. The people in the 1930´s dressed very fancy and formal, in my opnion, i was like "who wll wear a suit in middle of the summer, in a day as hot as a oven. Most of men used suits called the American summer suit with hats and with silk hankercheifs in their jacket pockets.Also most of the boys used shirts and short pants with overalls when playing and long socks, And the girls used mostly fancy or normal dresses and adult women also weared dresses but they were more fancy. There were a few houses becose of the few population . They all use Victorian Style as i said in the beginning but i have to highlight it becose of the beutiful architecture. Only rich people had cars. The cars where so beutiful also they give the air of the old times. The car i could see the most in town in the 1930's was the Cadillac Twelve and the Rolls royce , two beutiful cars very expensive in those times.Also the nature in the city was in every corner or sidewalk of the street.Yesterday in my daily morning walk i could see how the black people where segregated of the white people like there where some shops for white people and sme stores for black people, also i didnt saw a black and white couple, nothing,and when i bought a newspaper the headlines where "Black raper defended by white lawyer".
After my walki was so hungry but i could only get a sandwich from a store and the next day left town thinking how is this town goin to be in the future.
