It’s true that life goes on, whether you’re ready for it or not. I didn’t think tearing down the old school would bother me so much, until it was gone!

I came here for the recipe and found myself reading all about the high school. It’s funny… I have had the same feelings recently for locations that I remember. A restaurant my Grandmother always took me to in Columbus, Ohio burned down and while reading up on it, I read that the Northland Mall — a mall I grew up going to — had also been torn down. It’s like when you leave a location you think it’s going to be the same forever and it’s a shock to realize that life (and progress) goes on – without your consent!

BTW, great recipe. I am going to make today

My own highschool celebrated it’s 150th year a few years ago. I suppose that it is considered a landmark and worth saving even if it would have it’s electrical and heating problems. Go figure since a newer school was torn down last year. The parmesan chips would be worth rememberung too:D

First, let me say that these parmesan artichoke crisps look divinely delicious! Next, I’m sorry to hear about your high school being torn down! It’s amazing that such a beautiful and ecologically efficient structure had to be torn down. Why in the world would ACs be needed when it was designed not to them – I thought we were moving toward living spaces that do not rely on using more energy resources. Sigh. The shame is that our society is so used to tearing things down so quickly; I’m so glad that the residents of Rome, Athens or any historical city didn’t feel the same way, else we would have nothing of history to gaze upon!

Thanks, Lori. That is so sweet of you to say. You’ve got me pegged. I’m hopelessly sentimental!

I’m really happy to have met you too! And, I agree that knowing someone personally makes reading their blogs so much more enjoyable.

I love that you share the tidbits of your life on your blog. It really helps your readers to get to know you. I’m happy to have met you… it makes it so much easier to read someone’s blog when you feel like you ‘know’ them and understand them. I knew that you shed tears about the demolition before you told so in your post. I was practically shedding them myself!

Sure is fun to reconnect w/ HS friends on facebook. Your Parmesan Artichoke crisps look delicious too
