Today when Matt and I were driving on Highway 100 to get to St. Louis Park, we decided to stop off on Brooklyn Boulevard and look at the houses my parents lived in before they moved to beautiful Chisago County. I'm happy to report that all the neighborhoods we saw were neat and well-kept, especially on Girard and O'Henry Road.
Here is the famous "house on Girard."
Here is Grandma Roiland's House. Unfortunately, the owners are trying to paint it an unsightly green color (and are only ¾ of the way there), but otherwise it looks the same. However, the yard seems to have shrunk significantly since I was a kid!
Here is the 3606 O'Henry Road house. When we stopped to take pictures, people were in the window looking at us so I went to the door to explain that my parents lived there 40 years ago. "Were they the ones with the four boys?" It turns out the people who bought it from my parents still live there! And, yes, there still is a well in the garage!
