Picturing time backwards

 Took a walk near clarke road secondary school the other day.

Just reminiscing.

The area and school generally look the same as it did when I was a kid.

Roaming the grounds.

Until you get to the argyle mall.

And view the general geography’.

As I reminisce.

Neither the mall or the land geography is the same as it was in the 1970s and 1980s.

It’s weird how it changed.

In my opinion.

The woods were vast .

Now their narrow.

Behind Clarke road secondary school too.

And it’s legendary Woolco hill is now nothing at all but a long gone sweet distance memory.

And on that note?

Just for the appropriate sake of record?

While I’m on this topic?

I have to say this.

If only I had thought to take pictures of that legendary hill and it’s legendary now gone woods behind the argyle mall where I had so much great fun as a kid with so many of my childhood friends before the city choose to remove the woods and hill from that spot of my childhood and placed condos and town houses their.

For the purpose of so called progress.

So called progress?

Progress.?

Come now?

That super legendary fun hill that expanded in four directions ?

Which gave east end kids not just one hill ?

But about twenty cool hills to choose from and play on?

They choose to get rid of that super hill?

For the sake of so called city development progress?

The city could have easily and actually more sensibly built condos and town houses in many other possible locations and rationally saved that super hill for east end kids to enjoy for decades to come.

Quite sensibly.

In fact.

Yet they peculiarly didn’t?

For some absurd silly reason.

Seriously?

The city planners in London actually ridiculously choose the 

Modern progress of a few strange looking town houses?

in exchange for that beautiful legendary hill?

It seems so crazy now to have built just simple townhouses there and removed that super fun hill for supposed city progress .

In London.

Seriously?

I mean?

Seriously?

Wow.

Come on?

Think about it.

Of course city planners in London 

 could have easily built those townhouses some place else in east London or somewhere else in London for that matter and kept Woolco  hill as a wonderful super fun heritage spot for people to go to and enjoy.

They didn’t ,

though.

And ya know?

I gotta tell ya.

Now.

Just for the record?

Let’s face it.

Common sense verifies that was crazy on the part of city politicians.

Where was the sanity in that even?

in my opinion?

That’s not just a pity.

That’s actually completely crazy.

On the part of London city planners who made that incredibly wonderously absurd decision.

That they took that absolutely super legendary super hill and wonderful super childrens 

playground technically, naturally built for the east end kids , away.

And put simple town houses there.

Instead.

Wow.

That’s just wonderous.

O well.

Such is life.

Anyways. 

If anyone is  here reading this ?

And for the record has pictures of that super hill that spread into around ten fun hills for kids during the 1970s and 1980s ?

Please pass the pictures on to me?

So I can at least view my favourite place to hang out with my friends as a kid.

Happy holidays to everyone on that note.
