Nervous Water
“I figured it would be less than a two-hour drive, pretty much a straight shot up Route 95 to the first Maine exit, but I allowed myself some time to get lost in Moulton. The old landmarks were burned into my brain, even after all those years, but I assumed they’d mostly be gone, replaced by new landmarks to deceive me.
There were plenty of new, deceptive landmarks. Since I’d been there thirty years ago, Moulton had become a suburb almost indistinguishable from the suburbs around the 128 belt we...st of Boston, except somewhat less posh. Where in my memory there were orchards and pastures and fields and vacant lots and dusty roads, there were now condominium complexes with names like Royal Ridge Estates and residential cul-de-sacs with tightly packed rows of identical McMansions. The main roads were lined with Ford dealerships and Chinese restaurants and tanning parlors and supermarkets.
But the old roads that I remembered from the backseat of my old man’s car were still there, and I didn’t get lost.MoreLess
