ashetlandponyWow. Google Maps has really increased the coverage of their Street View feature since I last used it. I was surprised to discover they've even done the little out-of-the-way street I grew up on. Here's the house I lived in from age 5-28. (The window on the right was my room.) It doesn't look like much here, but it's a really grand place. Hard for me to believe it will be 50 years old at the end of next year...

My boyhood neighborhood looked entirely familiar, of course, but the vegetation, especially, had changed a lot. (Note, for example, the stump of the beautiful willow that used to grace our frontage. *snif*) The properties in general look a lot swankier now, too. It was a straight middle-class neighborhood when I grew up there. Now, well, no middle-class family could afford any of those houses, I'm sure.
It was great walking down memory lane, so to speak. I'd resigned myself long ago to the possibility that I might never lay eyes on these places again, so this was a genuine treat. :-)
