I've had a time elapsed view since I was old enough to be cognizant of such things and that started about 2 or 3 years of age based on the things I've remembered and the times they occurred which my parents confirmed.
It was rural, fence lines, hedgerows, and family size farms just about everywhere outside the nearby cities. If one looks at the 1952 aerial photography, its extremely hard to imagine what it was like back then. Most of the land was cleared, in use, and its not the friendliest terrain with the hills we have.
The horizon was dark when I was young, except for a few streetlights, it was devoid of light pollution, now its like a city and the lights illuminate the inside of my home and the hillside. The diner that abounds our 20 acre pond has lights that will make a shadow inside my home and its well over 600 yards away.
Walmart is what replaced one of 13 farms on what was a rural county road, (the end of it) The store takes up the land between that road and the state road. I can see this store, TSC and many other business's from my kitchen window. Lots of nearby fields are now condos or apartment buildings, most occupied by foreigners. The Caucasian is fast becoming a minority. Thinking way back, its hard to imagine what the native american indians had to endure when this great land was settled by foreigners. That same scenario is repeating itself.
Just looking out my kitchen window up on this hill, what I remember and how it is now, would take up a lot of space to describe. Thankfully many areas of town has remained the same or with minimal change, like our land here, the changes are mostly closer to the nearby city and the state road where stores, car dealers, and housing developments have been built.

Today's Featured Article - Good As New - by Bill Goodwin. In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father
