Nope. To crowded now. I grew up when it was barely a city. Lots of agriculture was still around. There's simply none of that left.
It's all buildings and houses. And the actual place, even the ground was removed for a apartment complex.

@DeWayfarer WOW! very long time! I was there in mine this January, celebrated New Year's there.
My first tine to visit the newest and biggest mall. The residential areas are still the same with vast fields around them.
Still nostalgic. I guess, I went there for the farewell.

@1sakuradoll08 Orange county got it's name from its very orange groves.
Now there simply isn't any type grove in the whole county.
It wasn't just the city. It was the whole county.

@DeWayfarer Oh sorry that they erased the significance of the place.
I can recognize with that.

i live in mine still .. if thats yours it looks cool. sorry about the bad memories whatever they were sigh

@GoFish Yeah. I love the place; it's very quiet and laid-back. It's like a ghost town at 8 p.m., meaning the streets are already empty.
You must adore your hometown; you never left!
I left when I was 18.

I never left.
1sakuradoll08 · F
@CrazyMusicLover you love it there.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@1sakuradoll08 It has more to do with the fact that I'm not too fond of the idea of starting from zero and all alone with nobody to lean on. If I had a partner who would want to leave or found a good job securing regular, satisfying income elsewhere, I'd leave in a heartbeat.
1sakuradoll08 · F
@CrazyMusicLover understandable situation. At least you grow with familiar people & surroundings.
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
It's been 6 years. I still think about it.
1sakuradoll08 · F
@Thevy29 we do that because it was a witness of our deeds growing up.

Sorry for your loss..

Rarely. I have no family there any more and the place is a pit anyway.
1sakuradoll08 · F
@ninalanyon good for you. Nobody encourages you to come back.
alongalone · M

1sakuradoll08 · F
@alongalone it's better to stay away from there if it causes anxiety.

I moved back to my home town in November 2022. I miss the home where I was before as most of my married life and where I raised my children was in that house. We needed to move but this house has never felt like home like the other house did.
1sakuradoll08 · F
@PatientlyWaiting25 that's great that you're back home again. Familiar people and surroundings welcomed you with warmth.
MrSmartyPants · 46-50, M
I think of it often, but haven't been there more than once in about 30 plus yrs.
1sakuradoll08 · F
@MrSmartyPants sometimes there are unforgettable places that could only remain in our memory.
MrSmartyPants · 46-50, M
@1sakuradoll08 Yeah .... that was where I felt most connected to sunrises .... the no need ever to see sunrises again kind of high quality sunrising viewings then .....:)
1sakuradoll08 · F
@MrSmartyPants yeah, we miss such things that only a great place can offer
SunSetStrut · 46-50
Yeah if the place in the photos is your home town, probably best not to move back cause eventually some data center will be dumped next to it like happens in too many rural areas.
I live in my hometown (it's a big city). The only thing keeping me here is that my bills are real cheap. No career, no friends, see my family only on holidays, Just nothing interesting.

@SunSetStrut those are the scenic spots in my hometown, it's the rice granary of my country.
no data centers yet but I guess it might happen soon.

Where?
1sakuradoll08 · F
@Kypro Lol. I don't know your hometown.
Kypro · 46-50, M
@1sakuradoll08 it’s in ny
lissah · 41-45, F
I have no reason to go there
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
I think that once parents and other relatives no longer live there, reasons for going back are few.
1sakuradoll08 · F
@FreddieUK true. If there's no more connection, we won't come back anymore.
