Joe,
I already know that much has changed in 55 years - I recall seeing Ladypool Rd at the time of the tornadoes, 9 years ago...and there is of course google earth...this forum, and friends
I doubt I'll be shocked as I've seen far greater i.e. more radical change, in much shorter periods in other places esp in Africa and Asia, such as some countries' population almost doubling in less than 30 years, a brand new capital in the centre of a big country whereas original was also largest port etc I've been to countries that no longer exist, like East Germany, Soviet Union and Sikkim, and am aware that change has been great, or just 'normal natural progression'.
And now, back on thread please
