When I was young living in South Carolina there were the trashy trailer parks, but there were also nice tidy trailer parks for working class families.

It was probably a bit nicer than this 30 years ago

Weird. I grew up literally walking distance from that spot on the map, in this house: https://goo.gl/maps/d2idrNkE3Zw

At least one of my friends lived in that very mobile home park.


I didn't really do the math when I replied before, but if you lived in or near that mobile home park and were a kid ~30 years ago, we almost certainly went to the same schools at around the same time, which is pretty surreal. I don't really run into many folks from my hometown in nerd circles (or anywhere, really).


Lakeview, probably in '88 I didnt go there long, we moved around a lot when I was a kid.


OK, nope, mine was Berea; same era, though. I knew a girl who lived on Longforest Drive who went to Lakeview, and everyone who lived on Plano Drive went to Berea, so I guess the line was somewhere in between the two. That's wild as hell. Howdy, distant-past-teenage-neighbor.


I did go to Berea high school for a short time. 9ths grade I guess. I hung out with the nerds :D


I only went to Berea for middle school, but lots of my friends from middle and elementary school went to Berea for high school (as did my older sister...the line moved in the interim). A dude named Mark...whose last name I now cannot remember, is the only nerd I can think of who went to Berea. Most of my friends who went there were ag kids in 4A ansd the horticulture program. We both had C64 BBSes and ran warez and did various illegal shit with phones. And, later, I think we both had Amigas (I know I did, but I think Mark got one, too...but we'd drifted apart a bit by that time).


I grew up right down the road from you, Spartanburg, SC.
