I appreciate the feedback and expanded several sources for the first two sections. I added the food section with a basis I can expand for the final draft. I added a couple lines about demographics and some for the history section. I don't think I am going to pursue demographics further because of a lack of new information. Also housing and other socio-economic topics are well portrayed in the original article due to a lack of new information. I would like to further the topics I have for the final and thanks for the feedback!
