Is it just me, or does being in a location that recalls

It really depends on what they've done with the place since then. For example, I can't go back to my childhood home or the neighborhood around it, because it is now associated with the memory of a housing development my dad partnered with another guy to build, that was supposed to secure our future, but his partner skimped on hiring somebody to pave the road, and it peeled. We ended up paying for that, not the partner.
