You Can't Go Home Again
Mar. 14th, 2012 06:46 pmAnd I'm thinking that's a good thing.
Today on my way back from the dentist, I decided to swing through the old neighborhood, where I lived from ages 2 to 15. The old house is looking pretty cruddy, but more notably, there are at least 30 bags of garbage in the yard. Lovely. Meanwhile, there's a several block stretch of the old street including the house that is covered in (illegal) signs declaring that if Baltimore doesn't come to Jesus, God will will drown us all in hellfire. Nothing like seeing that to make the current neighborhood suddenly look not quite so bad.
