My childhood home town is going to be featured on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition this Sunday. Boring to you...exciting to me. I found out during my parents' visit last week. Too bad that I moved my antenna and ABC went from crystal clear to really snowy. Uggg. I gotta fix that by Sunday.
It was interesting to me to hear my dad's comment when I asked, "Well, how does the new house look?" The part of his reply that I remember is, "Out of place." I hadn't ever heard from someone who actually saw one of those homes before. From what I've read and what I heard from my parents, the people in the town seem to think that ABC should have built their new house on one of the new home lots in town, as it takes up almost the entire lot that it's on.
I spent my entire childhood in a home that is probably about one mile from where they built the new house. My grade school and junior high (which are connected buildings) was right there, and I'd pass that house frequently on the way to the high school or main park (where I used to work out). I can't wait to see what parts of town they show.
