California vs. Kentucky & Indiana

Kind of like comparing apples and oranges.  I have so many memories of Glasgow growing up since almost all school vacations were spent there and some summers.  Have fond memories of first city bus trip to downtown Indianapolis.  Spent the afternoon at L.S. Ayres - the gourmet food dept. and the fur coat dept.  The lady in furs was very nice in letting us try on hats.  Riding my bike on an unfinished freeway (465) in 1961 or 62.  My first trip to Newberry's in Glasgow and the Plaza Theatre to watch the Beatles in "Help" in 1965 - hmmmmm, nice.  Working across from Pier 39 at Blue Shield, and later at the Embarcadero Center downtown San Francisco. My daughter took me to see "Wicked" last year for my birthday in San Francisco, neat!  But my memories of small grocery stores to buy penny candy in Glasgow and exploring the cemetary on Leslie - irreplaceable.  Trips to Santa Cruz beach boardwalk - listening to seals underneath the piers, priceless.  Washington Street in Glasgow, used to be the "ritzy" street to us, and my favorite one has sat vacant for over 10 years and now looks like the haunted house that we used to try to con our younger siblings into believing it was.  My mom now resides on Leslie Street and will never leave - so my heart is drawn back to my birthplace again. Children living in California and Indiana - perpetual tug of war.
