Can't remember the title now, but it relates the story of an autistic youth, who is learning all the places/streets in USA as he believes that catastrophe will come and he will be the only one who knows where anywhere is. He see something that leads him to believe a murder has been committed and makes his brother go to the place to find out. Great read. <br />When we were first married and lived in Northumberland, one of our close friends was a Gregg daughter. I guess she must be quite well off now!!

He wouldn't have done that at the time when the show aired originally, as he was born late in 1968.<br /><br />Your streetview posts have made me want to make one of my own. I remember how Steve and I looked at places he knew from his years living and working in Catalunya, and once we looked at the house in Wath upon Dearne where he was born. There was a person in the back garden, and we found it rather spooky.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-33318807068887157142016-11-24T06:30:56.461+00:002016-11-24T06:30:56.461+00:00It was interesting.

There are some really cool houses down that way built in the 1930's and 1940's and we've looked at a couple them that are for sale.<br /><br />Cold Stone Creamery is in the smaller, older mall. I work at the Magnolia Mall just down the road. Cold Stone has great ice cream!<br /><br />I didn't know there was a Sparrow Tree road in the Poston community! My great grandmother was a Poston and she's buried there along with a whole bunch of relatives on my mother's side.<br /><br />Florence is a pretty standard mid sized city, nothing special, but it's home.
