I forgot to mention that my house and four other houses on my street were model homes for the development. This is one of the models - It cracks me up because it's so overgrown that you cant' even walk up the sidewalk.
Later today I'll take a drive and take some pictures of all of the restaurants that have closed, old and new shopping centers that are now empty, and also a few complexes of condos that build half of their units and then went out of business.
I should also mention that out of twenty houses on my street, eight are now empty, and five more have for sale signs out.
