The Changing of my neighborhood

My neighborhood it sounds proudly and casts the brightest associations. The city in which you were born and grew up, the city in which school years pass. Here every street is familiar, and the usual road is already becoming a way for dreams and reflections. Sometimes, we do not even notice the beauty of the trees running past, we do not pay attention to the change of seasons, staining the leaves crimson or wilting nature.

Probably, everyone will be able to name a few of the main attractions of their hometown: monuments and squares, museums and theaters, spread along the main streets to please visitors. But, only a local resident, has its own memorable places, being in which thoughts begin their flight, and the soul is revealed. These are the secrets of the city, which the visitor is not given to know.

Walking along these streets, it is difficult to even imagine that they, like everyone else, will soon change, will play with new facades and colors. Rather, we represent a city of the past, which was located in these places a few years, and maybe centuries ago. How the young city was built and how the ancient one was changed can be understood from photographs, architecture, grandmothers' stories. But how difficult it is to imagine that all this may not be tomorrow.

What will happen to my city in 5 or 10 years? What will appear and what remains only in memory is very difficult to say. Certainly, on the main streets there will not be these old facades and shop windows. The facades will be restored, and the windows will be replaced by others, become in their own fashionable, shiny, but completely different. The cardinal changes will be noticed by the one who having lived in the city for many years, will leave, leave him, and returning after many years, he will understand that he is no longer the same person and city.
