I'm sure somebody will find the little corner house labeled with "My great-grandmother used to live in this house. But she's dead now, so my uncle and his family live there." very helpful.

Actually, this being Vantucky and all there's not really much that's noteworthy, so your previous haunts could become something like tourist attractions. It'd be like The Clark County Map of The Stars.

At least people will now know where the IGA on St. Johns is.

I went and labeled my place of work (the photo is over two years old and doesn't show the expansion). In doing so I noticed that almost nothing in my town is labeled. As I've worked for the Local History dept, I could spend a lot of time working on this. Too bad I've got so many other things to do. I also found out that my town has no wikipedia entries...

That is about 1/2 mile from where my Mom currently lives.

Those Rosemere locations (Grandma's House, etc.) wouldn't be yours, would they? I used to live in the house at the corner of 29th and U, just kitty corner to Grandma! Small world, huh? (Congrats on surviving Rosemere, by the way. That's a feat in and of itself.)

Yes.

I don't think any congratulations are in order. Growing up there it didn't seem all that bad. But it is now going on 15 years since I lived there. When did you live there (my grandparents just moved to Arizona from there about a year ago?

I think I'll go put a notice on the bridge where SR500 goes over Burnt Bridge Creek (just east of St. Johns) telling the story of the time my sister caused neighborhood wide panic during its construction.

I'm already a Google Earth junkie, this will keep me entertained for hours.
