The boulevard of champions is the road that my neighborhood was connected to. This is the neighborhood where I grew up from age 0 to age 6. I was looking for the apartment in Pompano where I was first born, but neither of my parents could remember where that was. It was amazing that I found my house simply from the memories when I was 5. But here it is, on Seaview Road. I knew I could find it because it was on a very prominent corner lot.
This was the sight of my fifth birthday party with the Ernie cake from sesame street, and many fun times with friends when I was little.
I also had to take a picture of the sewer grate out front which still had the railroad ties that mom put there. The reason why this is significant is because it was the reason I was spanked the only time I was. My mom had just gotten me white sesame street shoes, and I decided to wear them and balance on these railroad ties but stepped in the mud beside them. Mom got so mad that she spanked me.
The boulevard of champions itself had these strange sculptures out in the front of it. I never really knew what they were, but now I think they represent first second and third place.
I don't remember there being any trees in the backyard when I was there, only the 2 story swing set my dad built.
Over the fence here was my backyard, and dear God, the fence! I am pretty sure this is the original fence in that it was in a huge state of disrepair.
