By the time I was a teen it was consumed by the growing urban sprawl. It also was consumed by crime so we moved on. But I have lots of fond memories of going downtown with my girlfriend to the movies and a coke at the corner drug store. Now you would probably be shot in a drive by. So sad. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-45430583229070155202011-10-17T21:22:21.569-04:002011-10-17T21:22:21.569-04:00Blogged about my childhood home, soon to be abondo...Blogged about my childhood home, soon to be abondoned, a couple of posts ago.

It hasn't changed much.<br /><br />But I've been wanting to scan some pictures and post them -- can't seem to find the time. It goes too fast.Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-55610977333998486672011-10-17T13:57:41.137-04:002011-10-17T13:57:41.137-04:00I felt a tug of pain, seeing the demolition.

Some day it won't be there any more. <br />I'm glad I can still remember the people, still have some of the photos.<br />Thanks for sharing yours.<br /><br />Kay, Alberta, Canada<br />An Unfittie’s Guide to Adventurous TravelKay L.
