Boy, that sucks. At least I can go by the house I grew up in every once in awhile. It use be surrounded by grape orchards, and there was a train that ran right by the side of our house. I loved that train. Well the grapes are long gone, filled up with houses, a regional park and a high school. The train tracks are now gone too, it is now a walking and bike path.
