I LOVED this piece, Denise. I now live thousands of miles away from my home town, in what most people would call a much more spectacular place, but my home town will always be "home" to me

I was surprised to find, after moving, that I was homesick, not just for people, but for actual streets and buildings back home. Like you, I've greatly enjoyed a Facebook group where people post photos of my home town, some from the years of my childhood. To be transported back to my childhood, to see buildings long since demolished, it's like magic.

Thank you so much for writing this.
