Where Did The Trees Go?
Personal memory by Nicolas Moss
2013 • Indiana, USA
When I was growing up in Indiana I remember having this large thick forest behind my house. Me and all the kids of the surrounding neighborhoods would go there and play and climb the trees and just have fun. When I was In high school a housing complex bought the land and got rid of all trees to make a few more house. It's just sad to see a place that used to be so lush and green is now just another suburban housing complex.
