What effects did the migration from rural areas to the cities in the late 19th century have on urban society? Think About:
• why people moved to cities
• the problems caused by rapid urban growth
• the differences in the experiences of whites and blacks
The migration form rural areas to cities had a negative effect on urban society. Many people moved to the cities in because it made the most sense. It was cheap and affordable and had many steady jobs, like in mills in factories. (pg. 469) However because of the fact that it was easier to live in the city more people moved there, causing rapid urban growth. Since the population of the city increased the living enviorments became cramped and disgusting. It was hard for most people to get a hold of clean water, and fires were happening everywhere. People just through garbage out the window or onto the streets, causing a even more disgusting living enviorment. Also pick pocketing and thief became extremely popular. (pg. 470-471) African Americans had a very differnt and harder life trying to get by in city life because there was alot of competition and tension between them and white people for jobs. (pg. 469)

YOU ARE TEH LIEZAOR!
No Life Records was an American record label founded by Chuck Arnold in Boston, MA in 1992. The label released records by bands such as The Jesus Lizard, Bunnygrunt, Beatnik Filmstars, Pest 5000 and Nerdy Girl, before folding in 1997.
No Life Records was also the name of Arnold's record store, in Los Angeles, CA which Arnold co-owned with Dave Sanford, now owner of the Spectre Entertainment Group. The store opened on April 2, 1995, with three bands playing in-store. The store was somewhat legendary for these in-store performances, with around 15 bands per month playing in the store, among them such indie rock luminaries as Sleater-Kinney, Elliott Smith (both playing their first L.A. shows), Fuck, Momus and the Dandy Warhols. This was not to last, however, as the store closed on April 27, 1998. Eric Speckhard is a person with no known life and is obsessed with the Lord of the Rings series. He also knows all the presidents of the United States in order. He basically is a complete loser.
