I'm sorry about the changing neighborhood and all of the pain that can come along with that loss. The only place I've lived where people said much of it has stayed the same, is Vermont. I'm not sure what the secret is in some of these small towns, but a gal I know in her 50's says the town she lives in still looks the way it did when she was a tot.

While they might slowly morph, and the attendees get a little more wrinkled, they're pleasantly solid amidst a current of change and growth. Sometimes when I go back home and see all the change that's taken place, even if it's just a paint job on my old house that my parents built but no longer own, I wonder why nobody asked my permission. :) The “stand-bys”, like a familiar bar, or a random landmark in the middle of nowhere, are what I enjoy most about going back home.

It was a fitting soundtrack. I know a lot of people who have moved out of Duluth and now yearn to come back and even miss the gray skies and snowstorms. Funny, the things people miss about a place.
