The vibrant town of Northport, AL , a settlement as early as 1813, is full of charm. It is a great example of what most of our readings have been talking about. Native to Nowhere most specifically comes to mind, particularly chapter one through three. In chapter two there are some words that describe the town that directly come from the book.
• Sense of Place
• Place attachment
• Home
• Connectedness between places
• Distinctiveness
