Looking south on Offutt St. All of these houses are vacant, so it was sort of like driving through an episode of the Twilight Zone. The last time I was on this street was 37 years ago. It looks the same now, but with no one living there, it was eerily silent.

The end of Bradley Blvd looking north up what used to be Norton St. -- Danny, that was Terry Clarke's driveway on the right behind that little storage shed.

Privacy fence around the west side. I wonder if the current occupants know that Great Dane shit is what makes those bushes grow so well?

A lot less yard than what I had to mow. Apparently, Civil Engineering still has gallons of yellow and red paint left over from the 60's

Of course, we had to make a quick stop at Vanden to see what was new.

A nice touch . . . too bad they paved over all the messages that classes from the 60's and early 70's painted on the road to the school.

If you look closely over the door to the office, I could swear it reads "Arbeit Macht Frei"

The principal's office at Golden West. It looks pretty much the same as when I used to get my butt paddled there, but there are a lot more trees than there were in the 60's.

What happened to the chin up bars that used to be here? We always used sit and watch the "dust devils" spin the leaves around in this corner.

Who could forget the gym/cafeteria and all the sock hops we had here? The place looks like a minimum security prison now.
