Last week I visited one of my ole neighborhoods in Washington D.C..I hade not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street ,my mind was flooded by mentions of the past .I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I h
ad played.(S1) As I viewed the once family surroundings .image of mylf as a child there came to mind .However ,what I saw and what I remembered were not the same I sadly realized that the best moments are tho left untouched.
My old apartment building ,as I remember ,was bright and alive. It was more than just a place to live .It was a movie hou ,a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine .I would steal away with my friends and play in the bament .This is always exciting becau it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building .We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourlves.
However, what I saw was completely different The apartment building was now in disrepair. What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. the once clean wall were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet smelling river now smelled terrible. It was really heartbreaking to e all this.
