I live just down the street from this school. We plan to send our future children there. The school and Presbyterian Church are still there, as is Gilright's Barbershop (now just Gil's)....

Never expected to see my own little neighborhood on HN.


Not the first time it has happened:

And it seems 1184 is not a typo. surprised


Completely gripping. Well worth reading.
