re: Have you ever tried to visit your old house?

I grew up in a really rough part of town until I was about 10 years old. It’s gotten even tougher over the last 30 years. I have 0 desire to go back there.

When I was 8-10 years old, circa 1978-80 and my family first moved to BR, we lived in a house in the neighborhood on the other side of Plank Road from Tony's Seafood. In fact, we lived next door to the Pizzolatos, who owned it.

As you may imagine, that neighborhood is beyond sketchy now, some 40+ years later. About 10 years ago, I played golf with my nephew in Baker and on the way home, around twilight time, we detoured and drove by the old house. He thought I had lost my mind driving through there near dark

It was sad/depressing to see the street where I used to play freely look so dangerous and run-down.
