A few weeks ago, I went to my old elementary school. The school district sold it to a local guy. Apparently, he doesn't mow often. It looks like one could bale hay on the grounds. And of course, the cliche t
hat it looked smaller than I remember applied.There were the trees along the fence where a bunch of us in kindergarten didn't hear the recess whistle and didn't come in. Whoops.
For the most part, the playground is completely overgrown. All of the equipment has been removed, save for a lone basketball hoop. (Which you can kind of see just left of center in the very weedy picture.) A horse corral is where the slide was. A very tiny corral. Poor horse.
The steps leading up to the main doors looked smaller. But then I suppose everything does when you were only three feet tall when you last went there.
