Blast from the past

One of the big highlights for me this weekend was driving through my old hometown of Carbondale on the way home. We drove by my old house (which looks remarkably the same), the pond Carl and I used to catch turtles at, my elementary school and some of the other old favorites. It was a somewhat erie feeling to see all these things and have them all seem so familiar when you haven't seen them in years. We were there around dusk and the pictures aren't great, but they're the best I could do from the car!

The new name of my old elementary school - Trinity Christian School. Whatever happened to good ol' public schools.

The corner of Winkler Elementary - which also looks exactly the same (minus the name). They even still have the same rusted swing sets.

1014 Glenview Drive. Try to look past the car parked on the street.
