I was born in the early eighties...

Yeah, I like to say I have a million dollar view.

It's the house next to mine.  No, my house is not worth a million.  The one next to me is a corner double lot, 2 story farmhouse that was built in the late 1800s.  The same family has owned it through the generations since at least 1920, if not earlier...

amazing..
