My house in Northwood as it looks today. During the '60s, the tree on the left was much smaller. There were no alluminum canopies over the windows and door. Otherwise, it looks about the same.
The rear of the house however, looks almost identical to when I grew up there. My bedroom was on the top left, my brothers on the right. My brother and I would sometimes propel ourselselves over the fence by swinging on the clothesline bar. (Photos taken 2006)
This photo of our hangout, the patio, was taken in 2004. Take away the tree and it looks exactly like it did in 1964.
This photo, taken in 2006, shows the addition of a handicap ramp
The alley that ran behind my house is still there today, though the years have taken their toll. (Photo taken 2006) 
The sewer pipe referenced in Let's Talk Sewer Pipe Exploring, was under this old bridge in the woods. (Photo taken 2004)
Our main entrance to the woods looks much different than it did in the '60s. Where there once was trees and a steep incline, now the area has been cleared, leveled off, and sodded. You can still see the path leading toward the stream however. (Photo taken 2006)
The entrance to Nothwood Appold Rec., home of the Saturday night dances, looking pretty much the way it did forty years before this photo was taken.
36th Street in Hampden as it looks today, not much different than it did four decades ago. In the '60s it was the destination of many a bicycle ride. (Photo taken 2006)
The site of the Northwood School fair. In the sixties, the playground on the right was not fenced in. It contained several swings and a couple of monkey bars on an asphalt surface. The area on the left was open and not used for parking. The upper level on the right rear was an asphalt play area. To the right of that were a couple of baseball fields. The fair spread out over most of this property. The green door in the center was featured in the 1964 Northwood School fair blog.
