Ironically, I was over there on Tuesday. Much hasn't changed, although I feel the block looks smaller. I even went in the backyard of my old house....since the people who live there left the gate opened. That was a sad sight. They don't keep it up like we used to.

My parents still live in the house I grew up in, so every time I visit them.

I was by the old neighborhood about a month ago with a couple of people I grew up with. My old house is still there but it looks different. The neighborhood had not changed much.

My childhood home and much of the neighborhood in St. Louis has been torn down since the late '80s when I last visited there. However, I recently visited by way of Google and found that it is being rebuilt and of course no longer my neighborhood, except for a couple of landmark bldgs of my youth - The large Catholic church on one end of my block and my grade school on the next block.

My home during my teen years was in the 'burbs and I visited them a few years ago and was surprised at how my street looked just like it did when I lived there in the late '50s & early '60s except for the cars changing.

A couple of months ago. I had been by there before that and saw the "renovations" some one had done on a formerly nice 2-story colonial. Some ding bat built a second story over the garage. Looks like shite. Anyway, I had mentioned this to my brov and told him I would stop by again and take some pics. Siding was in disrepair and there was mildew growing in patches. He told me he had Goggle Earthed it and that there's now a built in pool that takes up most of the backyard. We kind of chuckled and said, "Well I guess Brandy (our dog) isn't buried there anymore!"

Not for sentimental reasons or anything, only reason why I maybe in area is if someone I know lives in that same area.

The last time I went "home" I got lost in my own home town it had changed so much. So the last 2 times I was in California I didn't even bother to go there.

Mine is too unsafe to visit now. I was there in Oct. 2010 and felt very unsafe.
