One year my voting site for an election was at the elementary school I went to when I was a kid. It had been a long time since I'd been there, but the old multi-purpose room looked exactly the same as I remembered, except for one minor detail. It was SO much smaller than I recalled.
I had a lot of memories with that particular room. It was the lunch room, but it was also where we had P.E. class and school assemblies and whatnot. Later on, when I was in Boy Scouts, my troop also met in that room. In all of my memories that room was absolutely huge. At the very least they managed to cram a lot of little kids in there at any given time. It was really jarring how tiny it seemed when I went back to vote as an adult.
On another note I drove by a couple years back and the whole school had been bulldozed. There was nothing in the lot except dirt. That was kind of shocking. They've since built a brand new, totally different building in its place. It's kind of sad that I won't ever get to repeat the experience of walking into that old multi-purpose room, but I'm glad I got to do it once as an adult.
