Memory Lane

I just found the address of my elementary school in Kearny, NJ. I was actually surprised to find that the 6 blocks from Schuyler all the way to my old apartment building are all covered by google maps. I 'walked' the old way using the maps and from the looks of it, it hasn't changed much at all save for a few trees here and there I remember.

Its bizarre, but now I know I can go back and expect to recognize it all. I walked that way everyday between the ages of 5 and 7. I remember it so clearly, and seeing it from a camera view like that just makes it all flood back. All the random moments, the way certain fences look from my 6 year old line of vision, and how the shade of trees would hit streets differently in the early morning vs in the afternoon right after school... just wow...
