Has Your City Become Cleaner or Dirtier in Recent Years?

[llamaorama]

Not relating to any one city in particular...

As a 31 year old I'm now just starting to notice how stuff that was new when I was a kid isn't new anymore. I mean, its not exactly profound to say stuff is older now than it was in the past. But it's interesting to see it in person.

Like big box stores from the 1990s are now tired and weathered looking. Where the original chain store went out of business and it's now something else.
