Utopia - by definition, is a community or society possessing highly desirable or perfect qualities. Throughout human existence, we humans dream of building a perfect society. Without crime, without worries and providing the population with what is necessary. The word utopia arouses great expectations, but only among a majority. Others may see a utopia with a corrupt factor, and still consider it the most beautiful place there is. Planted in southeastern California, in the Colorado desert, a place named Slab City, it is recognized as "the last free place in America." This place is home to many people, from travelers to elderly retirees. Here, the word pariah has no meaning. Slab City has a long history. Before it was a place for travel and travel, it was used as a Marine Corps training base for World War II soldiers. The base was built in 1942 and was called Camp Dunlap. In 1949, the war having ended, the base was decommissioned and dismantled; demolishing many of the buildings that stood there, leaving only slabs behind. Here, people choose to live on different slabs, each doing something different. Hence the name “Slab City”, it took almost seven years to completely dismantle everything within the perimeter of Camp Dunlap. After Dunlap's use, the land was then deeded to the State of California. Where, the land was almost forgotten. It wasn't until about 1965 that a company hired an even number of 20 men to go to the town of Niland, Slab City's necessities connection, to harvest creosote leaves. Many workers decided not to live in town, but instead to live in the ruins of Dunlap. Living in a caravan and only worrying about a five mile journey to...... middle of paper...... Ussell's artwork. One of East Jesus' most memorable installations would have to be "Television Will Not Be Revolutionized." Having around fifty televisions, all painted with white screens, with blood red letters stating the true harms of what the media is doing to our society. One TV is painted with “Dear God No” and another with “Walking in the Past to Reach the Future.” Heed people's warnings about the true corruption of what the media can hold and where people should start moving. The community lifestyle of Slab City is very unique; residents of all kinds watch out for shelters in RVs, tents pitched in any area with a campfire, and even under small trees. There is no set lifestyle here. The majority of people remain stationary east of Jesus, because of the loving people there; everyone takes care of everyone. Person
