Acres Drive has not changed much since you have left, actually the entire area along Chester Pike looks pretty much the same. With the Exception of a CVS on the Corner of Acres and the Pike. The Pike Deli is still there as is the Little Hut. Where the 7/11 once was on Acres theres a Pizza/ice cream palor..been there for years now. the Gulf gas station is still there. What year would you have graduated?
