Changing Times
Thanks to Lemuel Craft
I grew up in Springfield, but things have changed in the last 40 years. When I was a kid we could all play in the streets and not worry about anything. We would all leave our doors unlocked, and the community was really close. Everyone knew everyone else, and we all felt safe here. It was a friendly Midwestern American City. Springfield has grown so much over the years that I feel like I live in a different town now. It is still safe here, but I don’t know all of my neighbors, and you never know who is moving in and out. We still let our kids play outside, but I always keep an eye on them from the kitchen window. There has also been a few break-ins in our neighborhood, which was unheard of in the past. That really scared us, and showed us how much things have changed. My husband and I even looked into alarm systems springfield to see if we should get one. We decided against it for now, but maybe in the next few years we will feel the need for one.
