NOstalgic Memories

Crazy to think I’m saying this.

“I wish this town wouldn’t change”

We’re all for progressive change and, you know, change for the better – the future and all.

But God, do I wish I could be in a small town that never changed.

The small town I grew up in has blown up drastically with mega plazas, brand new homes and subdivisions.

And all the silly names for new neighborhoods and streets.

It’s not the same.

I remember the little store my mom and I use to go to. Lowes.

Not the hardware store, but the grocery store Lowes. Where we would get fresh cinnamon muffins and rum muffins – with no raisins.

Fuck a rum rasin muffin.

What a town. The one grocery store, the one school, the one gas station. The library and city hall. Oh and of course, Wal-Mart

Shoot, there were never any homeless people around here.

A lake was always a few minutes away. Depending where you wanted to go. A river in our yard.

Seems no matter what, a small home town is a great representation that nothing ever stays the same. Change is inevitable.
