What a cracking city Scott! Katowice has also changed quite a bit, and Alicja has told me all about the beautiful old train station, ripped down and replaced by a faceless mall. I found this video really interesting - I lived in Devonport New Zealand 25 years ago, and have always wondered whether to go back or keep the memories locked in as they were. I do think there is always a wide eyed excitement for a new place that will never be there when you return, but that’s not saying it shouldn’t be done. Excellent work Sir!

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Thanks Steve. It's strange, but there are a few locations around Scotland which I can remember from decades ago, and then switch to a memory made just this year. Fortunately my brain doesn't delete or write-over old memories. They live in separate filing cabinets.

[@jacekban7059]

Thanks for this video! Szczecin is my home town which I left for 8 years ago and I live abroad now. But I love this city and it's really very impressive how fast it is changing in the last years. And it is always interesting to see places you know so good through others peoples eyes :)

I returned to Singapore after 55 years, from a 13 year old to a 68 year old. Almost everything had changed. KZbin bridges that gap and prepares you for the changes. In Singapores' case the heat, humidity and rain were an enduring memory and they haven't changed.

The problem with many old buildings in Poland is a complicated ownership structure - a property has over a dozen or more shareholders which cannot compromise. Or some private investor bought a property from falling company with occasional price, but doesn't have enough money for refurbishment or addopting it on new purpose.

[@erik_dk842]

Here in Denmark we solve it by taxing it based on the value of what could be built there. It makes the penniless sell to someone with funds.

Poland has been a country of the fastest economical progress in Europe for last 30 years and general forecasts are still optimistic despite of high inflation rates. So when you come after next 8 years you will see different Poland as well.

Stettin (Szczecin) and Breslau (Wrocław) were part of Germany until 1945, when they were given to Poland by the Allies in the redrawing of the borders. Danzig (Gdańsk) was an independent city state populated primarily by Germans. The German residents of Stettin, Danzig and Breslau were forcibly removed and the cities were repopulated with Poles.

There was a 10 year gap between my visits to Edinburgh and while the city hadn't changed much - they were working at the new tram network - all my favourite shops had gone, from Menzies and Bargain Books in Princes Street to all sorts of second hand (book)shops in the Old Town. It's been almost 20 years since that last visit and now the people I knew there are also gone. I considered it a "farewell tour" and that's what it became.

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

The building of the tram line was a nightmare for shopowners along the route, but if they survived the upheaval, they would reap the benefits. Then Covid came along. Edinburgh was close to losing their UNESCO heritage listing because of modern building plans. As far as I know they have been watered down. However, a few years ago, there was an almighty hoo-haa about felling some of the trees in the Princes Street Gardens. This was to do with 'progress' and the city plans to have more useable event space there, so some trees had to go. It's still a lovely place although the crowds (understandably) are a challenge at times. Some things never change.

[@richardjenning9509]

Returning always runs the risk of change but finding something that brought previously good memories is fab. As a football fan, I was hoping you went near Pogon Szczecin FC

I grew up in Chicago Illinois USA, I lived there for 44 years. I moved away to Colorado USA in 2004. I always loved Chicago and I enjoy visiting it, but it isn't the same city that I grew up in and I always am a bit nostalgic for the old Chicago. Things are so cleaned up, gentrified and neatened, and in that process has lost some of the character and adventure of the old Chicago. So, I understand what you mean.

I hadn't been there since the early 90's when I was just a youngster of 35. And all the the visuals and feelings that I had stored away were just itching to be revived. And as you made so clear, should you return? Well I did and It was different. It felt different. I felt different. Even the little town of Blackheath that I ached to return to didn't feel the same. Did I enjoy it? Sure, but not as much as I was hoping I would. Was it me now with a lifetime of experience and an older head? Maybe. Thanks for the wisdom.

My mum was born in Warsaw and she moved to London in the early 1960s. In 1976, when I was 9 yrs old she took me to visit my grandparents in Warsaw. The country was of course still under the communist regime. My memories are very good though, the streets were so clean, it was forbidden to throw you litter on the pavement. I loved the red trams. The shops were mostly empty though. I recall visiting a lido and at lunchtime on our way to the restaurant I was imagining beefburgers and chips, instead I got boiled cabbage! I did visit a few more times during the next decade, but never after the fall of communism. I don't want to spoil my childhood memories...

i think this video is brilliant Scott, and yes and how the heartbeat of life really changes and how we forget other towns will certainly develop as much as our own one does, whether we witness it or not. us mortals experience the same with bars and eateries i think. but it is a shame really that beautiful old industrial building will eventually give way to a concrete and glass monstrosity. they will blame costings of course and claim a new build to be cheaper for the future of the town and cheaper to build rather than modernise and repurpose. got to love your pendulum comment, i actually ( once ) new a geeza who believed in flat earth, his head was fubar.

Hi Scott. I am a subscriber just catching up on your recent videos. I was intrigued in earlier videos of yours when you talk about growing up in Sydney. So now you have divulged a bit more info about that, we were almost neighbours. I grew up in Beecroft. My father was the only one in his family who was born in Australia. His father & two uncles came to Australia, to Port Pirie, in the 1920's. They were from Motherwell. My grandfather & one of his brothers returned to Scotland & then brought their families back to Sydney. I now live in Adelaide. Anyway, I enjoy you videos. Keep up the good work.

I totally agree with you about Sydney, Even in the past 10 years I haven’t lived in Sydney and the lower blue mountains since 2012 it’s massively changed (Penrith was my main stomping ground for the first 25 years of my life now on the NSW Mid North Coast). But I went to Sydney on the 4 - 6 of October 2022 having not been there for over 2 years since Pre COVID, Although it looked and smelt familiar it just didn’t feel the same almost like it had lost part of its soul. As You should see what they’ve been doing to Central Station, Sure it’s nice to modernise but at the moment it looks like they’ve slapped lipstick on a pig and that’s saying it nicely. There’s no way I’d be able to live back there again, Visit yeah but live there again definitely not.

A few months ago I was having a look on Google Satellite, and was amazed at Sydney's western suburbs sprawl since the 1990s. OK, it's been a few decades, but the place has just taken over the Cumberland Plain. Then I looked at the Central Coast region. What happened there? It's almost continuous urban sprawl all the way to Newcastle. I used to drive up to Tuggerah Lake and Wyong for the day because these places were out in the country. Now it's just suburbia and the great Australian dream.

In July 2019, on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo landing on the moon, I emailed the headmaster of Eastwood Primary school. I mentioned I was possibly the only person who could remember being there on the 21st July 1969! The moon landing broadcast was played all around the school play areas. I mentioned to her how much Eastwood had changed, and she couldn't agree more. She said I wouldn't recognise the place. I guess property prices have gone nuts because the influx of Chinese (I'm guessing from Hong Kong) and their level of affluence has had an effect on the property market. That's one of my philosophies of life - nothing stays the same for ever.

I was in the port of Szczecin in the early 90's on a bulk carrier loading steel for the Far East. A strange port indeed being 30 miles inland from the Baltic sea, access being via a long straight canal that cut through the Polish countryside. Poland had just started the transition from Communism to Capitalism and everything was in a state of confusion. A heady mixture of old and new systems. To buy something in a department store you first had to pay at the cash desk after describing what you wanted to buy. Not knowing a word of Polish but with lots of hand gestures I finally got my ping pong bat and balls!!

I don't blame the Catalans for the changes though - overtourism is the main problem I fear.

Change is the constant is what applies to most places.

It seems you are unaware about the origin of Szczecin. Up until the end of WWII it was the German City of Stettin. This is where my German ancestors are from in Pommerania.

It is sad that nobody mentions it was a German City, and most of the old Architecture is German, not Polish. I do not blame the Poles for erasing it's history.
