JDN, That's kind of like Houston was when I was moved there in January of 1942. My Grandmother owned a rooming house, on a plot, that is now only 6 blocks from the center of town. I have seen many of the small towns that were once independent, and in the country, and are now nothing but a suburb of Houston. A little different, but I attended my 40th reunion at College Station, TX, where A&M is, and so many of my classmates were gone, and what was once a very small town, is now spread all over the river plain, and and the Brazos River, is at least 10 miles from the campus, which was on the fringe of the town. Couldn't even find my way around the campus. It was nothing like when I went to college there. My old dorm was run down in the shadow of a building that dwarfed it. Some call that progress. I call it over breeding.

When I was a little boy, all of my growing life I lived in house that was near a river. Accross the river was a twin drive in. I also lived near a ball field. I lived at 35 hillside terrace, aptly named for the geography. The house of my youth is no longer at hillside terrace. But that's a foil as for some reason the town changed the name of hillside terrace to hopkins terr. But holy zillow, I can see the land, the home of my youth. On the corner of kelly. zillow.com So many hours on the boats I built on the river. Sleding at the ballfield.
