I was digging through more stuff from my parents house. I found a letter with the address of the house that we lived in in Pearl City Hawaii in the 60s. 1146 Hookahi St. I punched that into Google Earth and the looked around for the Pearl City Elementary. I used to walk with my brother to 1st grade there. I remember it as being 3/4 of a mile or so. It is 1,200 feet away.
I punched in the address of the house we lived in in San Marcos Tx. 537 West Hopkins St. We used to ride our bikes the couple of miles to downtown to go to the movies across from the courthouse. It is just under 1/2 mile in reality. We would ride our bikes up to the movie theater and just leave them outside. They were always there when we came out. I never had a house key because we never locked the house. That would have been when I was in 3rd grade.
I am thinking they have changed the address method used, dug up the houses and moved them.
The only other possibility is I was wrong and that cound never happen.
