[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 451955, member: 439"] My "hometown" is the opposite of yours, Hound Dog. When I grew up there, it was rural becoming residential. It's now filled with $500,000 McMansions. And I now work in it. The piece of property that my facility is built on was my bus driver's pig farm while I was growing up. The horse farm across the street where they had polo matches is a high class strip mall with high price restaurants. I didn't go to public school, I went to Catholic, but was around the public schools too because we rode their buses and neighbors and friends. The middle school my dad was custodian at is now the school district offices. The old high school is the middle school, and the new high school has a fire place in the atrium. And the church I went to has rebuilt and enlarged three times now. People ask me since I've been working out there (25 miles away from where I live) if I'd move back. First - I can't afford to. Second - I'd always miss the small town it was when I was growing up. I actually remember when we went from "village" status to "city" status - although we lived in the township. [/QUOTE]
