Re: Places you’ve been to that are now gone.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-17 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
The days are very long where I live this time of year, so some days I walk the few miles home from work in the evenings. Work is in the same general area as the place I went to high school, so a few weeks ago I walked the same route home as I used to take from school. Most of it's the same; the shrubs have grown up or new yards have been planted, there're more vegetable gardens in front yards than there used to be and fewer cats and dogs roaming around to be petted. And over a decade ago, there was a little house, almost a sort of fairy-tale cottage, with roses over the front gate and narcissus and other sweet-smelling bulbs in spring, and flowers just everywhere, and some apple trees. It was on a little corner lot, and I always smiled and stuck my nose in all the flowers and petted the cats that must have lived there. I never saw any people but I always imagined the house must have belonged to a sweet old granny type.

There's a McMansion being built on that lot. Almost all the flowers are gone; there's a few struggling to grow under and around the general construction detritus, but judging by the piles of cement paving blocks and flats of generic greenery sitting in the driveway that used to be a flower bed, even those will be yanked up or weed-killered into oblivion soon... I used to daydream about living in that house and puttering around the garden.
