I would have loved to jump into the 1880’s and 1890’s to the 1980’s and experience its amazing evolution. You get to be at the point of sudden growth of population and city development with machines and technology on the rise. And in the other hand, still recalling your childhood in the old days where it just started to peak with lots of land to spare and fields to play. It’s really is a huge evolution.
