This is the creek at the bottom of my street after that down pour of rain that only lasted about 20 minutes today. Since this blog project is about our journey from here to college, I have to talk about how this creek was important to me during my years living in Randallstown. This creek has always been the landmark that people know whenever I would try to describe where I lived to someone. It also was and still is the meeting spot occasionally when my friends and I want to hang out together outside. This was because the creek was usually the midpoint between my house and my friend's houses. The creek would also host many games of Manhunt throughout elementary and middle school. For instance, in the first picture next to the big drain, there is a very short, wide walking space under the road. I can remember the many times that me and Nicholas would be on the same team and crouch down as we walked to the other side and hid behind the road barriers. Good Times! I can just imagine me coming back home for college break and going to the creek and reminiscing these great moments.
I have a place like that I always go to, even at 30, that reminds me of "back in the day." It's a nice little spot up the road from my Mom's (out in the middle of nowhere) where you can see Lake Ontario (in NY) and it's just a really cool view. I'll probably post it somewhere over the weekend when I go up. I was pretty good at manhunt back in the day too :)
