If someone wrote you and said..."Hey, I grew up in your house" What would you think?

I would be happy that the house meant so much to someone that previously lived in it. You should add them! They'll probably find it cool

I'd think they were old.


To answer your question specifically, I don't think there's anything wrong with adding them on Facebook.

i'd feel creeped out.. but i'd probably ask them what house i used to live in, since they know so much..

I did that awhile back. Me and my siblings (15) of us grew up in the City of Detroit along the Rouge river. It was a quiet dead-end road called Iliad. We had three Lots there. One that the house sat on, one vacant, and one that kept an "orchard." My sheltered childhood and and many memories have roots there. I could write a book.

Every now and again my wife and I drive by there as we have for 45 years. One day about 15 years ago we stopped in and knocked at the door and a chipper middle aged woman answered the door. I told her that 40 years prior that I had lived there and had deep seeded memories and wondered if she would let us look around a bit. She had a huge smile and said "You need to come in, I have something you might like to see."

She took us for a walk through memory lane, as each room stirred up warm memories of my childhood. She led us to a large aquarium in the living area. The eight foot tank had a two inch bed of mostly "cat eye" marbles. The marbles my brothers and I shot 50 years ago to see who could amass the largest collection. The bottom was covered with tiny toy cars and trucks arranged as hideouts for the many varieties of fish housed there. She discovered huge baskets full of our toys when her and her husband dug up the100 foot row of Lilac bushes at the rear of the lot where we used to spend all our play time together. Our tiny toy soldiers were watching over her angle fish as they fed off the bottom, I could go on forever but you get the point.

YES - That IS very COOL. Thank you for the best question I have ever had a chance to ANSWER.
