Antiqueight: There is a lane in Kilkenny city called New Building Lane. The New building it's named after was built circa 1770

When I was 15, something 20 years ago was ancient history, and here at 55, something 20 years ago was yesterday

You’ve reached the point where everything happened seven years ago.

It's just crazy here, driving past buildings that are hundreds of years old.

Ah yeah- but very few near you are over 1000 years old so nothing really old there...

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, where the oldest thing was San Fernando Mission back from 1797. *THE OLDEST*. I think I can find buildings older than that just up the street from here...

Goodness, I rather assumed there would be some buildings from the 1600s in California (and possibly structures from pre-European civilisations) but apparently not! Not only do structures not come from then but there was no occupation by Europe in the 1600s really.... huh!

To an American, 100 years is a long time; to a European, 100 miles is a long distance.
