We moved away in 92 when I was 10, but looking at street view on Google maps is a bit of a kick. The house doesn't look all that different except for the added front deck. The tree in front yard is massive now; at least 20 feet tall. What really blew my mind years ago when I first started looking around with google maps was just how far the city has expanded since I left. We lived in the brand new MacEwan subdivision 89-92 and if I recall right, that was about as far NW the city reached. Now there are multiple subdivisions further north.
They either were still building or had just finished that Simons Valley School on the corner of 14th St and Sandarac. I think 14th St. just ended there, or shortly after, but now it links to Country Hills Blvd.
It looks like they repurposed and/or renamed my elementary school, since I can't find it by name. (Colonel Sanders). The lot/shape of Colonel Irvine Jr. High looks like how I remember Col. Sanders but I could be wrong.
