My parents built this home they still live there. I’m the little kid in the picture that is standing on the sidewalk looking up.

Hi Wesley! Thank you for sharing such a special memory with us. We love hearing stories from people who have a personal connection to our photos. Do you have other fond memories of growing up in the area? We'd love to hear more about your experiences in McDowell County. It's amazing how much things can change over the years, isn't it? What's different about the area now compared to when this photo was taken in 1987?
