When was the last time you went somewhere just because it evoked pleasant memories?
Today I was outside my old elementary school so I decided to walk home from school to where we lived back then.
The walk was not as long as it seemed to my kid self nearly 40 years ago.
It had changed as much as it had stayed the same. The old mom and pop store where I spent my allowance was gone. But many familiar sights remained.
Our house that my father built was still there though somewhat expanded upon.
All in all it was a nice trip down memory lane. Not running into the older boy who used to hassle me helped.

Reading Nintendo Powers that I bought off of eBay. It was fantastic.

I went to a restaurant recently, roughly 20 years ago I would go to the same place at least once a month for a few years. Pretty much the same. Your situation of walking the same path is way cooler. I kind of want to go to this myself, I would have two I could do for elementary. The longer one would still be considered a good distance where walking back would be unnecessary. Still a fun idea though.

Had it happen the last few months. But also been going back to places I haven't seen since the late 90s.
What surprised me the most was howw a part of the town I grew up outside that when I left was mostly abandoned buildings and empty lots is now a pile of local business.

There's a little wildlife park nearby that I went to regularly as a kid. It was nice to go there again recently when my neice visited.

Spending time with my Mom last summer, she wanted to go flower shopping so we went to a place right by where I went to preschool. Turns out the Dairy Queen that we'd go to on Thursdays after preschool was not only still standing but looked exactly the same (they never changed the 80s/90s "Dairy Queen" sign and didn't include any more modern "DQ" rebranding) so we got some blizzards and dilly bars after and it was really, really nice.
