[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 451900, member: 6705"] Lisa... I know what you mean! It's been 21 years since I spent any time at all in my hometown, and 6 since I've been there (fly in to El Paso TX airport, drive to Las Cruces NM). I'd love to just drive around for a while. There's a football stadium at the highschool 2 blocks from my house - WHAT?! We had to use the one halfway across town. My HS was only about 10 years old when I went there. But there are shockers - the Hilton filled in the pools and built another building... the NE part of town (army brat land) looks a lot nicer than it did. This is pictures a friend sent me. BUT - we moved to Ohio when I was 14. CULTURE SHOCK for me. In the town my parents still live in? The "new" HS I attended has turned into the junior high and they built a new HS. The fields are full of shops now. 3 golf courses in town. The park I used to hang out in, with woods and a creek, is all manicured lawn and amphitheatre. It's sad... The Kroger I walked to from my first apartment is GONE. There are condos there now. The only thing left is the post office. [/QUOTE]
