You know you’re old when the hospital you were born in was torn down, the grammar school you attended is now a senior citizen housing complex, and the high school you graduated from was razed.

The hospital I was born in was razed then built in a different spot, my elementary school is now a "community outreach" centre for unwed mothers, my Jr High has been demolished and condos slapped up, but my high school has been expanded by 3X.

It’s nice to know I’m not the only old fart here.

Just noticed you’re flying the Canadian flag. My mother was born in Picton, Ontario. My great-uncle served with the 38th Btn. (Ottawa) CEF in WWI. He was killed a couple of months before the Armistace, and is buried in a British Military Cemetery in France. I’m also a cousin of Tim Horton’s, or at least I would have been a cousin if he lived. I live in Rome, NY, down the road from the old Griffiss Air Base. We have NORAD here, and from time to time, I run into Canadian Air Force members who are working there.
