Our House
27 NW 36th Drive
Gainesville, Florida

Mom in the front yard of the house on my last visit. On the left you can see my Ford Explorer, the car in the driveway is David’s.

I have many found memories of this house. I lived there for fourteen years and my parents lived there for forty years.  When I return to Gainesville I sometimes go by the old house and remember the fond memories our family had there. It is also sad to see how the old neighborhood had decayed for many of the houses have been turned into rentals for students attending the University and are not kept up. Here are some stories about the house and the neighborhood.
