I Was in the Old Neighborhood for Work

So I stopped by the home where I grew up. It is good to see it's still taken care of, although not to the standards of my meticulous parents.

 

Looks as if the cool old, crank-out casement windows have been replaced with vinyl versions, the heavy oak front door was replaced with a metal security door and the roof has been re-shingled. New gutters and (poorly crafted) wood trim have been put in place as well.

 

Quite a few homes in the area are vacant these days but our old block has somehow escaped blight that hit the area so hard.

 

625 square feet of love and memories felt so much bigger then.
