Have you ever driven past your old house and wondered what was happening there?

My hubby & his family are like that about the home he grew up in. They drive out to the country to see how the area has changed since they moved into the city. It's kinda crazy how they moved but couldn't let go of the 30-40's his family spent in the area. They also have long time friends (former neighbors) & family that still live there they come to visit once in a great blue moon but I think they just all really enjoy the trip down memory lane.

I always wonder what is happening at my old house. Since there were no renovations done to the outside, I am dying to see what they have done to the inside. But sometimes I think it is better we left it and came to this one because it is a lot better and we can do what we want now. I had some good times in my old house though. I guess it's time to move on and enjoy this house now :D

No, because my parents still live there, but I've wondered who lives in my dorm room from college. The reason I wonder about that is becuase it was the first place I was truly independent and I'm still attached to it. I've also wondered who moved into deceased friends houses. Once I was going to go see who moved into my friend Mary Francis's house (she lives about 7/10 of a mile from me), but people dissuaded me because they thought it was creepy and might bother the person.

Well, I drove by the house I lived in when my family first moved here, and I saw that not much had changed. They'd put up a shed in the side yard and ripped down the greenhouse, but other than that, it looked pretty well the same. Our old playhouse was still there. My old house in Edmonton, I often worry about. But I have no idea what it looks like now.

The house where I lived between 3 and 11 was one that my entire extended family loved. Any time any one of my cousins gets back to that area of Pittsburgh, they drive by to see if the old house might be for sale. Even our old babysitters have done that, thinking they would buy it if it ever came up for sale. It was a cool house. Lots of nooks and crannies. Secret doors in closets that put you into the next bedroom's closet. Laundry shoots in each bedroom that went to the basement. A small door in the dining room wall that one could put a telephone on...so that if you were in the basement you could hear it. (Back then, people didn't have telephone jacks in every room.)

yh i drivin past my old house before i had 2 old houses when u go past it, it remindsme me of all the sik things happened there but i always find the people stranege that live in there now anyway happy mylottin

my old house is in my homeland, not here I'd like to live there someday when I get to retirement age of course if it's still ours over here we used to live in an apartment before buying the house we passed by the apartment now and then but not interested in looking at it I didn't have great time there at all, hubby didn't either he sent a letter to the management about the new manager and he is not the only one that doesn't like her She was new manager at the time, he likes the previous manager but doesn't matter now because we moved out almost 5 yrs ago anyway

yes!! i have done this a lot. our last house that we lived in for about 4 years is right on my way to my moms and I pass it and often wonder what is going on and what would be happening if we still lived there. I miss my dogs the most. we had to give them to a farmer when we moved because we could find no house in town that would take a full grown rottie AND a full grown german shepherd.

[i]Hi littleone, We moved 3 different houses in the past in our Country but it was too far and after we moved, I never had a chance to see it again! I can relate to that when an old guy stopped in front of our house just this year! He parked his car and was looking at the house. My husband approached him and asked if he was lookinf for somebody and he told my hubby, they were living here before in the 70's and he remember his son playing and climbing in front of our door house! [/i]

I haven't seen my old house in quite some time. The last time I went for a visit was when I was 17 years old. But yeah, when I saw it I thought that it looked pretty bad. LOL While I had been living there an older gentleman came to the house one day. He was on the other side of the fence and just kind of stared at it. When he saw my mom he explained that he used to live there. He was curious to see how it looked on the inside so my mom invited him in to take a look. I wish I was brave enough to ask. Maybe one day...

Hi Littleone, I have driven past many of my old homes in the past and thought about what they are now like inside, what the people are like and whether they are happy there. My daughters boyfriend grew up in the town I live now and we were driving to my house the other day and he got upset as his old house had been demolished and flats had been built there, I could understand as I think I would be upset too. Huggles. Ellie :D

the house whre i grew up is still in the family for right now anyway. my mother passed away a year ago the 18th, left it to my son & he hasn't done anything w/it yet. he says he's going to sell it & my other son wants it so we'll see what happens.

Yes, I have done that many times. I have a trailer that I used to live in here in town. In fact it is just around the block from the house I live in now and I always wonder if the people living there have made changes on the inside of it and what it might look like. Tonight I also drove by the last house I lived in. It is empty, but it always kind of pulls at your heart when you see where you have come from.

Hey, i had the same feeling, the house in which i was born and spend nearly 18 years of my life, i had to leave it 5 years back. I have seen so many changes while i have living there. First it was a small hut, which was then changed to much more firm structure, then it was changed into a bit more firm structure, later with the passage of time my parents managed to covert it into a double-storied building, but it was incomplete. Later we had to sell it due to some crisis, but recently when i passed by that place, i just got stunned by the changes that has happened there. The whole area have changed into a executive class housing colony, the roads were perfect, but the shocking change which i found was, it did find the home in which i spend my childhood, the whole building was demolished from the base and they were building a new structure over that place. I felt a bit depressed cause i had a lot of memories related to that particular house, but soon realized that i only have the memories with me not the house. :-)

Yes, I have done that before, its a strange feeling, and you picture the inside where your stuff used to be..

Last summer when my Mom went up to Michigan, they took pictures of the house where I lived when I lived with my Dad. I didn't even recognize it...it's changed so much. In my mind it's still the same and this different house is just another house...it's not the one that lives in my mind. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Hey littleone! Yes, I actually have gone past my house where I used to live and wondered what it might look like on the inside! I wish to this day that I was able to have kept it when my Mom decided to sell it because it was a beautiful house and it is now worth 4 times the amount that it was worth then and I would have been so happy there! I have spend 28 years paying rent for an apartment that I could have spent having roomates in that house instead! If I only could have thought clearer and had the money then! Oh well! I would be curious to see it but don't have the nerve to go up to it and ring the bell! Would you?

I think that many of us drive past ourold houses. I know I have done this multiple times myself. I see how the outside changes and am always curious if the inside has changes too. I also wonder things like how it is decorated now, who actually lives there, how are the rooms arranged. Of all the houses I am curious about, I think I would like to see the house I grew up in the most.

uhhuh..i did feel like that b4, but just that i didnt wondering whats happening in there now..everytime i passed the old house, it always reminds me of all the good n bad memories i have been through there. it was great lol. then i saw the owner who lives there now *i was rent it b4, n i feel happy for them coz the house is a great house..

Yes, my hometown is not very big, sometimes I will past the places where I have lived. If I do that, at that time I just wonder who's now living there, what are they doing now. Looking at the house where I used to spend my past time, it is so interesting.
