The town that I grew up in has changed so much over the past decade that I really don’t know if I even feel at home when I go there to visit. Since I was eighteen I have moved from place to place only to visit the town I grew up in for brief periods of time and don’t hang around for very long. So its easy for me to miss all the little details that happen on a daily basis. I will now show you just what I mean by examining the town, the people and my inner feelings. I want everyone who reads this to know how my childhood home has changed for me. I want you to feel like I do about an area where I grew up and enjoyed so much of the outdoors that is now a shopping center, a mini mall or a restaurant. Like much of the world developers have striped America of her natural beauty and put up a shopping center. The most notable change to the town would be the buildings that have been built and the ones that have been knocked down. The in your face type of changes that are impossible to miss the ones that you know are changes that last. When I grew up here in my youth there where endless wooded areas and open fields everywhere a young boy could get lost for days in the wilderness that surrounded by boy hood town. One really felt surrounded by nature because in any general direction you would go there would be a wooded area not too far. Now there are shopping centers in place of the nature, endless mini mall and other shopping venues. I almost thought I was in the wrong place once because of all the rural development that took place while I was gone. There used to be a lot of small ponds and other fishing areas that me and my brothers would have to venture far into the wilderness in order to get to. Now after all the development the only place to get some fish are the discount family friendly
