Which place do you miss from your childhood?

This place. The Arndale Bus Station in Manchester, UK. The Arndale is a shopping mall and from 1979-1996 it had this huge undercover Bus Station. It was dark, cosy and overwhlemed you with diesel fumes. Yes, Im a nerd 😂

@DeWayfarer Gosh what year is that??

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@SW-User 1968 I think. I remember those orange trees behind where I lived, hopping the fence and hiding in them.

Shortly afterwards they were removed and a Volvo dealership took that orange groves place. That happened in 1970 I believe. Mom bought her Volvo there in 74.

@DeWayfarer aww bring back the orange groves!!

@SW-User I couldn't agree more. I don't believe there is a single orange grove in all of Orange county anymore. :(

@DeWayfarer truly awful 😞

@SW-User Are you familiar with the area? 🤔

SW-User

@DeWayfarer No I'm in Australia and have yet to visit there...it is a common scenario though and I can certainly empathise

@SW-User Ok, so you know of something else familiar, the big trees surrounding the groves always were eucalyptus trees. Those are gone as well. They used them as wind breakers to protect the groves from freezing, in addition to snudge pots.

@DeWayfarer that would have been a glorious sight for an Aussie 🙂✨

@SW-User I thought so. Had an internet acquaintance from Australia of so long ago.
