Here's a 2003 overview of the village.  We're looking due west from a virtual helicopter hovering 600 feet above the back lot of the Parrott Implement Company.  Converging on Richwood are Ottawa Street on the left and Blagrove Street on the right.  The yellow arrow points to the white-roofed Chevrolet dealership that my father built in 1964.

In the center of this picture, just beyond the remnants of Memorial Field where Richwood High School athletes once competed, is my old high school building (now the North Union Middle School).  On the left edge of the picture is my old elementary school (demolished in 2005).

In the bottom right corner is our house, Twin Gables, its black shingles faded to dark gray.  A car is parked on the T-shaped blacktop driveway outside the garage.

At the right is a better view from 2006, and another angle is here.

Interestingly enough, these pictures actually come not from a helicopter but from a satellite in space.  The free Google Earth program allows you to add perspective and a third dimension to satellite images.  It's great fun to fly around the virtual world!
