You Can Never Go Home

Posted by Ben Fielding on March 28, 2005 - 11:29am.

Sunday was Easter and I, like many of my high school friends, went home to see family and friends. I was out with Matt, a long time friend, driving around town when it dawned on us how much Newtown had changed.

When our families moved into Newtown it was the mid-1980s. Houses were small, clustered together and there was a real sense of community. Today, Newtown has changed and that feeling of community is gone.

Newtown is like a lot of other towns in Connecticut. New housing is BIG. The houses are on multiple acre plots and are mammoth. There is no way Matt or I will ever afford to buy one of them. In high school we talked about how one day we would like to move back to Newtown. It is becoming more and more clear that such an ambition will never come to fruition.

Has anyone else noticed that their towns have changed over the past 2 decades? Is anyone else worried? I am. Something needs to change or my generation won't be able to afford to live in the state where we grew up.
