i constantly find people putting everything in the frame of reference THEY know, when that frame of reference, and their personal experience, is a decade old, or more.

a woman at work (early 50s) said something negative about Lawrenceville. I asked her "had you actually BEEN there within the last 10 years?" she still has the perception of lawrenceville as it once was - being the home of broken buildings and broken lives, drugs, and depression.

a friend went back to Montreal for the first time in many years - he left when he was 11. he was excited to see what was once his home, his cousins, everything. after he returned, when asked, he quietly responded "well, its not really the same anymore".

nothing is. places change. the cultures change. pittsburgh, the city itself, has a rather different "feel", "vibe", whatever you want to call it, than it did in my own memory.
