I was a bit disappointed when I went on Google Earth a year or two ago and discovered the entire neighborhood around 10th and Patton had been razed and replaced with modern houses. It also appeared a new school had been built that cutoff 10th St from Beckley. It looks much different than it did when I visited it in 2008. All the old houses were still standing, probably much the way it looked in 1963. I guess it's unrealistic to think neighborhoods aren't going to change over 60 years.
I had the same feeling when I visited my old home town of Omaha a few years ago. The neighborhood I grew up in was largely the same but so much nearby it had changed dramatically.
