I have left my hometown for 15 years when I was 10 years old. Yesterday I had an occasion to turn back my hometown .I was really surprised at the change of my hometown. The roads in my memory was small, rough, and have many pothole, but nowadays, it was widened,. It is large and the two roadsides they plant a lot of trees. The house was made of brick, which was small in the past but nowadays it have changed a lot. The building prings up like mush rooms. It is very beautiful and spacious. I went to my old school. OW, I seemed incredible. It has been changed completely. It was upgraded and spacious. At the center of the hometown there is a big superment, in the past there was a small shop. The change of the hometown made me surprised a lot.
t hasn't changed too much in only ten years. However, perhaps 15-20 years ago the downtown area had more character and culture, and now it looks pretty much like a mall. The shabby but awesome and homey arcades, surf shops, and ice cream shops right along the beach have been moved back across the street and been replaced by fancier (and pricier) shops. The cool vibe that anyone belongs (teens in cut-offs, dudes with boom-boxes, kids with dirty feet) have been replaced somewhat by the wealthier folks who like classy restaurants that overlook the ocean, martinis, and kids with Baby Gap shoes instead of dirty feet.
