I grew up in this house and lived here from 1966 until approx 1994 or at least was in the area until then to help with the property when i left the state for good pretty much and my grand mother lived there until around 2001 after my grandfather passed in 1996 and then sold the home..My grandparents Bought the home in the early 60,s and it was built by a builder in there area for his wife and himself and there 4 kids..We sold Christmas trees for fun every year to local family's and friends who enjoyed a fresh tree and every small tree you see in the back behind the house i had hand dug and planted about a year before this was taken.( this was not what we did for a living just holiday fun ).The property goes back much further then in the pics and it was the place i grew up..caught my first fish there to drove my first car on the property to many of life,s first there..My grandparents lived there and i have many good memory's as a child and young adult there..so many things i could write about the house and property and neighbors but its pretty much just all a memory now and who it was sold to pretty much destroyed and ruined and abandon the home and it and the property i hear and have seen pics now is all a dump literally..back in the day everyone worked in the area and had great lives..no crime..just a very peaceful family type area..now it has all been ruined and its one of the highest crime area,s in the country..very sad..the pic brings back awesome memory's and would give anything to be able to go back in time and have just one more day here with my family....
