Do certain things look smaller? There's a street that my great-grandmother used to live on. Growing up, it looked like it was at least a mile long! Now when I go back, I realize it really isn't that long at all. How about your old HS? Gym? Corner stores, etc., etc.

Yes, things do seem smaller, esp. my own backyard!!! I can remember playing softball catch, croquet, and bocci in my backyard, and now I'm like damn, it looks small.
When I drive past this park that I used to have cross country meets in, I'm like wow, it doesn't seem that long, but it definitely seemed that way when running it.
I haven't been inside my high school gym since I graduated 4 years ago. But when I was in college and visited my elementary school I took a peek inside my gym and that was a huge shock-- soooo small!
Even the football field (the main field for all our elementary, junior high, high school football games and graduation ceremonies) where I cheered at when I was a little cheerleader in elementary school and junior high, doesn't seem that big.
