The “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings”as friends and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home. The boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive cars. The kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days.

　　Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious

　　hill into several lots for now homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has

　　been a view of that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of

　　social activity for the children of my street. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and

　　playing tag. The view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and

　　dump trucks tearing up the hill. When the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is

　　a piece of my childhood. It is a visual reminder of being a kid. Without the hill, my_street_will_be__just_another_pea_in_the_pod.
