person A: I was feeling really ambitious the other day and I decided to drive into the parking lot of my old elementary school just to see all the things I used to see years ago.
person B: Was it as you remembered it?
person A: It was exactly the same! I was super surprised that no renovations were made_comma_ the same playground and buildings and everything.
person B: That is amazing that it was not torn down or remodeled.  They seem to throw way too many buildings away these days.
