The boat that had been parked in the yard for as long as I could remember was gone and I knew they wouldn't have moved it if he hadn't died.

that was my child hood home where i grew up . 1152 e ada avenue. glendora ca . even checked out my old neeighborhood school wich has been since closed .

Today I was looking at rentals and found a place that my dad helped build. It's a log home on a lake where we used to camp when I was a kid. I remember when they built it, wish I could afford to rent it.

Our extended family have a blast with that and not only our family home but also our maternal and paternal grandparents’ homes

backyard is blocked by a fence. The neighborhood, however, has become very business friendly.

I was stationed in England, Germany, South Korea, and six places in five states so I sometimes look at Google Earth to see what's changed. I looked at George AFB by Victorville, Ca., which was closed in the 90s, and was disappointed to see the condition of it today. Now there's the Southern California Logistics Airport which has huge warehouses. The old base housing wasn't renovated and left to fall in ruin. So sad to see this happen.

When Myrtle Beach AFB closed it was converted to businesses, housing, and parks and from the looks of it on Google Earth they did a good job.

In my ancestry research I located addresses for their parents on Italian vital records. Very interesting to be able to see not only the towns where they grew up but go up and down the roads and see the buildings. My Grandmother's town and its structures are unchanged from over a hundred years ago when she left because a massive earthquake caused all the inhabitants to abandon the hillside town and move to a safer new village a mile downhill. The current residents of new town have also posted a video online of their annual procession to commemorate the ancient town and church on top of the hill.

looked pretty much the same

Our old house was backed against a thick pine forest where I used to go exploring every day as a kid.

Now everything's been clear cut, and it sits in the middle of what looks like any other generic subdivision.

I've looked up where my grandkids live in Seattle and Raleigh. I also looked at the houses on zillow where they have the tours of the house. My daughter calls it stalking, I call it looking to make sure they have suitable housing. They both have beautiful homes and the neighborhoods look well cared for. So I'm happy 😊

One side of the street was four family apts with marble stairs `the other 2 family. Cement everywhere with little spaces for trees. Looks exactly the same.

Then moved to Woodbridge, NJ where my parents built a house on my grandparents property next to them. House and lawn look the same except the long line of wonderful trees my grandfather planted along the property line are gone and an American Flag is in the yard. Gave me a Republican is probably living in the house vibe.
