Ha - you reeled me in two ways. The first you already know. The second was that I grew up in Youngstown, Ohio. smile

Yes, I get the point too.

I was a little confused in V2. Is it a different house? Or is it the laundromat that's gone now?

Nice write, Magne. Maybe a couple of suggestions - a different activity than chewing hard and a more descriptive phrase than parking spot might work a little better.

Not sure about the bayou - I guess there could have been a few of us who dreamed of living in the bayou but I didn't know any and wouldn't think it common. Mostly we dreamed less about where to go and more about where to leave smile

Aside from that (and even that's a small point), this could have been written by someone who lived there. Impressive......
