The last time you visited your childhood home/neighborhood?

[Ocelot II]

26. I've been by a few times since I'm still in the same area.

We moved there in (I think) 1957 - it was a smallish postwar bungalow. It was close enough to the zoo that sometimes we could hear the lions roar in the morning, which we thought was cool. A third kid came along in 1960, so parents added a bit onto it, but it was still pretty small compared to newer houses. We moved to another place in 1969, and subsequent owners have added on even more - it looks a lot different now with a new front porch, and the big tree in the front yard is gone, replaced by a smaller one - the original was an elm, so I suppose Dutch Elm disease got it. From Google Earth it looks like there's some kind of deck in the back yard and some big trees. Since it's been altered so much it doesn't look smaller than when I was a kid, because it's actually bigger.
