We drove by our first house this weekend because we happened to be in the area. House overall looked in pretty good shape which was nice to see since we really liked that house. The neighborhood was looking worn though - a lot of owners are not keeping up on home maintenance. Every third house or so really needed to be repainted and had some exterior trim or siding issues.
We stopped by one of our favorite local restaurants for lunch and the darn thing hadn't changed at all in almost a decade. Same menu. Same decor. And prices were still pretty reasonable. We had to stop by Kroger for a few things for dinner and that made me really jealous though. They must have gotten a massive remodel recently because it looked way nicer than it had when we lived there and was way nicer than the one closest to us now.
