 My father retired out of the military in 1974. He went in in 1938 and with a few breaks, served in the Army, Army Air Corp, and Air Force. He was a W.W.II, Korea, Vietnam vet. We wound up in Fairfield because he got a job @U,S,Steel. It was a decent place to live but since has fallen on hard times. In some places, really hard times. Burnt out houses, abandon houses, it has more than a few. Glen Oaks, Fair Oaks were sort of like different suburbs to Fairfield. We all went to High School together.
Downtown, when we moved there, had 3 different movie houses, 4 hardware stores, 4 restaurants, 2 butcher shops, 1 place that sold fresh butchered chicken, and 1 seafood shop that sold fresh fish from the gulf that was trucked in every 2 days.

But that was then, this is now, and the times did change.  :(

This is a video I took riding around the neighborhoods. Some areas look okay, others...not so much. It is sort of long, I apologize.

Music is by Mickey Hart, drummer for the Grateful Dead from his album/C.D. Planet Drum.  ;)

Loved the video.  Both of my parents grew up in that area(Midfield).  The stories my dad tells about his childhood make the area sound amazing.  Now, not so much.  My grandmother still attends Fairfield Highlands Baptist, and I go with her occasionally.  Sad to see how bad that area is now.  But hey, if Avondale can be revitalized then maybe there's still a chance.

Sometimes it really pays to stop and take a look first  ???

That is a nice, smooth camera you got there!  Pretty amazing they can do that much processing on the fly....appears to be entirely stabilized in software.  Maybe time to upgrade mine around Christmas or so.  ;D
