What do you miss about your hometown? Growing up, what were the little things that made
it important to you? Reminisce in the form of a list and jot down memories as they pop into your head. Journal specific things you want to remember.
- The drive-in theater. What movies did you see there? ls it still around?
- How often did you go to the library? What was the librarian like?
- What’s unique about stores such as the pharmacy, grocery store or
ice-cream parlor? - lf a friend came to town, where did you take her for fun? Did
you go to the golf course? The video store? - What special landmarks does your town have? ls there a train
station? A duck pond? - What about the government buildings? Was there something special about the fire station or
the post office? - What school did you go to? What was great (and not so great) about that particular school?
- How many playgrounds were there?
- Who were your favorite neighbors?
- Did you have a secret hangout?
- Think nature. Were there interesting parks to hike in? Walking trails?
- To create a sense of unity in a two-page layout, place a ribbon in a strip across both pages.
