A lot!
Major change
Town I grew up in, until age 15, was a small mining town, a hippy town, now is a ski resort.
Better? More jobs
Worse? places i used to hang out at, pick dandelions are now condos

Town where I lived from 15 up, was a "cowboy" farm/ranch town, now is wine country, lots of grapes, peaches grown for wine.
Better? Well it has more people. More culture though, art, music, entertainment.
Worse? NO JOBS, no big industry, major employers. too many homes on former farm land, orchards, though the grape-peach orchards are thriving for wine, a lot were torn down for subdivisions

It had changed considerably the last time I was there about 20 years ago. The place I lived as a child had become a slum. Where I lived after I left home no longer existed, nor did my girlfriend's place.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
