I rarely do a strictly personal column on this website, instead I include personal stuff in my usual media and marketing articles.

However recently I was driving past a former house I lived in and decided to do a #ThrowBackThursday post for fun.

These are all the previous Fort Waynehomes I have lived in since moving to Fort Wayne as a kindergartener with my folks.

After school I left and then returned a few years later before leaving again.

I have now lived in Fort Wayne continuously longer than I had previously and longer than anyplace. There’s just 7 here plus our current home, but if you count all the places I’ve called home, I guess we’re pushing 20.

All these picture were snapped on a cold wintery day in January 2019 and every one looks different than when I lived in them.

1st house my parents rented. Used to be pink.

The two story used to be green. My parents owned in for over 35 years.

4 apartments in this West Central house. Different siding from when I lived there in the 80’s.

I rented the top floor of this Duplex. Or it may have been a Tri-plex. Looks much nicer now. But in the 80’s there was an old man that had a peach colored Rolls Royce he parked in the street on this block.

This one used to be white.

1st time I had a mortgage was this place. They had a fire in the attic after we moved and raised the roof when they rebuilt.

Biggest change to this is the color. It was green when we owned it.
