When you’re around something every day you don’t really notice as slight changes happen. It’s because of that I always find myself surprised when people come back to town saying, ‘Wow, Starkville has changed so much!’ On the surface, it looks the same to me as it did a year ago, but when I start going through all the new businesses, construction and assorted whosits and whatsits, I realize it really has changed.
Just last weekend, I was talking to a friend who moved away two months ago and was amazed at how much has already happened just since then.
