Heh, this is an excerpt, written last night, from the life story I'm working on. Sound familiar?

Medina was a company town, about fifteen miles south of Fremantle and 4 miles in from the coast. The homes were built by the state, subsidized by the refinery, and very much divided by class. Most of the houses were wood frame and a kind of sheetrock that we called asbestos, but I�m not sure if it was what we know as asbestos today. The roofs were corregated asbestos or ceramic tile. These were where the regular workers lived. At one end of town were the brick houses where the managers lived, and in the middle of this was �Nob Hill.,� the executive homes. Nobody considered this strange and everyone worked hard to be able to move up to the next stage.
