- John The cars are different, but the houses look the same — except I hardly see kids outside anymore.
- Dean That’s is where I grew up . I remember riding up and down Longford every day on my paper route, my dad was also the Home Owners Association President. He was also the owner and head coach of the Winston Manor Seals which I also played for. Great memories here also spent many years studying at Bill Grossman School of Keno Karate, like I said lot’s of great times.
- Antonio No kids playing outside anymore because there are too many cars now. We used to play in the streets all the time. I don’t remember childhood obesity either. Now a days many kids are overweight from too much sugar and doing nothing but staring at a computer.
- Yolanda Wow that was great I lived on Dundee Dr.
