That doesn't count 2 in Lawrence and 1 in Cedar Falls, cuz I don't remember 'em, and couldn't find 'em specifically without some research (and maybe even then).

My friend Steve has been to see me in every one of these places but the first, cuz I didn't know him yet, and anyway he was only 9 when I moved, so it woulda been a long illegal drive for the kid in a stolen car.

Cool. I tried to do that, but I couldn't get the images to stay. How did you save them?

I hit the "print screen" key (which copies an image of the screen to the clipboard), created a new image in Photoshopped, pasted the clipboard image into in, and cropped. Seems like a lot to go through, I know. I did it over the course of some days, a few at a time.

you lived in the forest!?

I like #2, that's almost solid trees. But doesn't #5 show that you lived in a parking lot?

#2 was very much in the woo-ods, thanks mainly to me & my brother practically insisting our parents pick that option when we moved to maryland. i think i've circled the right blob. the house in the woods across the road wasn't there then; we made many a fort of branches covered in pine needles in those trees.

the one that's a bit of lot used to have a building there. the peabody book shop and beer stube, specifically. former haunt of h. l. mencken. sez in this balto sun piece on the neighborhood that f. scott f. hung out there, but i don't remember hearing tales of him. the building was torn down about 10 years ago; visiting it as they were starting demolition, and climbing around therein, was quite an experience.

I'm surprised there aren't more new houses around #2 by now. Every tume I visit Sby, it sweems like every available space is being developed. I'm glad to see that there are still lots of trees around your old house! Maybe some kid is getting to build pine tree forts even now.
