107th Ave. Calgary SW - Need photo.

Nifty! Looking at the map I can retrace my childhood footsteps. Falling off my bike on 108th ave and cracking my elbow... Walking forever in the Summer heat to the large indoor swimming pool complex towards the S.E. and my buds daring each other to jump off the upper platform of the diving towers... Making Tye-dye t-shirts with my hippie teachers at the elementary school... Kite flying at the same school... Sigh what an age.

They still have Hippie teachers?

I had one maybe 10 years ago. There's still a chance!

I hope so. This was 31 years ago and still close enough to the Summer of Love that there was a few long hair freaky people in the population, even Calgary. There was one family on 106th ave that were COMPLETE freaks that our family befriended. Every weekend we we all load into vans and campers and escape into the foothills with our dirtbikes, tents and fishing rods. Mud, sweat and gears.

Ok I swung by the house this morning but yay, my phone battery was too low and it wouldn't let me snap a picture. Sorry man, I'll try again when I have some juice put back into the thing.

It's a little white bungalow, has a hedge around the front yard, some enormous pine trees in the one corner, and a painted-white wrought iron front gate. Does that sound familiar to you at least?

I have my camera with me and I have to run to Rona at lunch anyway, I could stop by and take some picks while I'm out and about.

Haha, these people are going to be all freaked out about people coming and taking pictures of their house today.

But with Kien on the job, I bow out. Kien could take a photo of an old shoe he found in a ditch and you'll think it was the most beautiful house you ever grew up in. I simply can't compete with that.

Sounds like my family

Mission accomplished. Will post the pics this evening.

P.S. The owner forgot to load his shotgun so I'm okay, thanks!
