My old place

 


The streetlights on Grandview Avenue shine

The buzz of conversation echoes throughout the neighborhood

The opening and closing of the library doors

It felt like home

The bustling soft serve ice cream store on Maple Terrace Drive

The drunk football fans stumbling out of Redbeards Pub

The constant dinging of the incline dropping passengers off at the top of the mountain

It felt like home

The neighborhood was alive

I never felt alone even when I was by myself

It was peaceful, but not quiet

It was warm, but it was winter

It felt like home

The store owners all greeted me by name

My neighbors always took time out of their day to talk to me

It felt like home

Take me back

This is about my old neighborhood where I used to live and the nostalgic feelings I have towards it.
