Do you ever think of places and locations you were once a part of but you left behind years ago?

I just went along some past haunts on Google Street View , old familiar streets and walks to work I have done over the years ,all geographically far away from where I am now. It seems odd and a bit sad to think I once existing in places where there is now no trace of me .

As the child of Foreign Service Diplomats and 35+ years in the Military, I have lived and served in a lot of different places and Countries. I love Google street view to see what places I've lived in look like now, including the schools I went to and places I've frequented. One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how quickly some things change and yet others don't look much different than they did 50+ years ago, though I do wonder what happened to some of the people I've met and lost touch with too from long before the Internet existed...

@spjennifer You must have a lot to look back on. Your Google Street View sessions must be very engrossing.

@JamieYahoo Yes, I have an 85" TV now and am able to Chromecast from computer to TV screen, places like Paris, Montreal, Kandahar, Baghdad, Munich, Guam, Turkey, S. Korea and so many others, it's easy to lose a couple of hours just cruising around seeing old haunts and some places I'd love to go visit again. It's one of the things that kept me sane during the lockdowns here!
