Going Through the history of my hometown

One of the most common themes in music, aside from love and heartbreak, is the desire to leave where you’re from. Whether it’s imagining a better life while dealing with hardship, (Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car) escaping a dead-end town (Bruce Springsteen’s Thunder Road) or rebelling against your parents’ wishes, fleeing from you’re hometown to a city has long captured people’s imaginations, including mine. For years now I’ve wanted to leave Galt, where I’ve lived in for most of my life. Now that I’ve had the chance to experience living in different towns and cities, I want to go back and look at my hometown through a more mature lens. I think the reason why I’ve wanted to leave for so long is because I don’t know anything about it. This project is me dedicating myself to learning about the history of Galt.
