Then I grew up, graduated from PSHS and made my way into the world. My parents' home, which they owned all their married life, was sold to the lady who took care of mom in her last years. Prescott began changing. Now when I visit infrequently, the new outweighs the old and it is less different and charming than it used to be. It is still a good place to live, but I now live in Tempe.
