Do you ever visit the neighborhood you grew up in? - GoFuckYourself.com

jhauser · 07-07-2004, 07:48 AM

Does everything seem smaller, different or the same. I recently went back to my elementary school and saw just how small the running track was. When I was a kid one lap seemed like an eternity. Has anyone else gone back recently to their home town?

Jakke PNG · 07-07-2004, 07:50 AM

I live in the same part of town I've always lived...and my mom lived, and my grand parents lived.. and my friends live, and my friends parents live, and their grandparents.. see?

Why move out from the best part of the best city in finland?

..move abroad might be in the future though, taxes suck here.

jhauser · 07-07-2004, 07:54 AM

Is Finland really that cold? I have heard horror stories of frigidness.

Rankings · 07-07-2004, 07:57 AM

funny, I was talking about going back to my elementary school just last night to see how small everything is. funny how everything seems so enormous when you're a kid

Yes. Summers rule.. but winters suck. One of the main reasons I'm planning a move to south of spain, or someplace warm

psyko514 · 07-07-2004, 08:08 AM

i still live in the same area i've lived in since i was 10.

Herb Kornfield · 07-07-2004, 08:24 AM

My parents still live in the same area that I grew up in. When I go home I roll past the old neighborhood.

Always a lot of fun to see the old places again

I'd never trade where I live now for there.

YEAH ITS REALLY WEIRD

Napolean · 07-07-2004, 08:29 AM

its a crack street now... id get shot going down there

Tala · 07-07-2004, 08:30 AM

I haven't been back to the old neighborhood since 2001. It's still a tiny, backwoods little dent in the road, so nothing new there.

The High School I went to was in a bigger town, which has started to grow into a small city. It was never this huge when I was a kid. Strange.

Danny_C · 07-07-2004, 08:31 AM

I moved around a lot, and I've never been back to any place I used to live.

mindoza · 07-07-2004, 08:34 AM

I live where I grew up! same house. Somehow nomatter how many times I leave I always come back...My sister is a teacher and when she had to student teach she taught at our elementary school. It use to be Bustleton Elemetary now it has been renamed to AnnFrank Elementary. What got me was the water fountains..they were at my hips and and i am short. I remember when it was eye level. What was real scary was some of the lunch ladies were the same from when I went there 25 years ago!

Tanker · 07-07-2004, 08:35 AM

I have even visited my high school and it seems small

Basic_man · 07-07-2004, 08:37 AM

I still live with the same neighbordhood !

Shok · 07-07-2004, 08:41 AM

I tried to find it a few years ago, I think it's a Walmart now

Yeah its weird seeing where you grew up with adult eyes. We moved out of that area when I was 17..

BillyHoe · 07-07-2004, 09:37 AM

I went to visit a few years ago, and saw some of the guys I grew up with still there. Was pretty sad, they've done nothing with their lives.

Big Cheese · 07-07-2004, 10:05 AM

Still live in the same neighborhood. It's a great place

Lucy · 07-07-2004, 11:13 AM

I still live in the same neigborhood since my childhood, but when I came back home after three years from Chicago, I couldn't believe, it was so beautiful and in the same time so wierd a lots of things change, but I think that I'll always come back, it's my home...

okny · 07-07-2004, 11:15 AM

I still live around where i grew up, i think it's time run away been living her for a while now.

plyndrty · 07-07-2004, 11:17 AM

No, I live in some places that have turned very bad since I was a kid. The city was in the miami area in south florida.

AdultLoungeSean · 07-07-2004, 11:21 AM

I've gone back to take a look at my old neighborhood- That's so true about everything looking much smaller. LOL It's weird.

pimpin · 07-07-2004, 11:36 AM

wow pretty amazed by the number of people who live or moved back to their neighborhood where they grew up. I did too.

The only problem with most older neighborhoods is they are deteriorating with people moving out and rentals moving in due to the "urban sprawl" .

LauraLee · 07-07-2004, 11:48 AM

Yea i check out the ol hood often, as my parents still live in the same house i was raised in. I too only live about 3 minutes away since i bought my place in the neighboring area.
Going back by your old schools, now that can be odd. Actually, i took a painting class last year that happened to be at my highschool.. walking those halls was a like walking back in time. As i have grown older there is one thing i have grown to appreciate... memories.
Those no one can take away.

Jinx · 07-07-2004, 01:04 PM

I recently went back to mine, and it hasn't changed much at all. The trees have gotten much larger, but that's about it...

baddog · 07-07-2004, 02:18 PM

Let's see, I went to 5 different elementary schools . . . so no

cypocrypt · 07-07-2004, 02:19 PM

i still live there....just a few blocks down the street
