A great history of my hometown in pictures.By Gene BowkerPoway was a great place to grow up with plenty of fun things for a kid to do back in the days when parents let their children do things out of their sight. There was always somewhere to explore; plenty of places to ride my bike; and many ways to get into "trouble".I moved back East with my Mom in 1990 after graduating from High School. Ive only visited a few times in the years since and Ive seen through Google Maps and social media photos how much the area has continued to grow.I recently purchased the Poway book in the Images of America series when I found it on . It includes a number of photos from the earliest years of Poway all the way up through pretty much modern day. The image reproduction is good and there are a good variety of shots from different parts of Poway.I only found a few "nit-picky" errors such as the fact that "Pow-Wow Days" was the name of the parade and festival when I was a kid and it didnt become Poway Days until later. I think there are a few captioning errors on the photos or my memory of when things were built is a lot worst than I thought.It was great seeing the history of the area; much of which I didnt know growing up there. The changes since I left make me really want to plan a road-trip out West to get caught up with all the changes. Maybe that will happen sometime soon.The book also made me remember a photo I had scanned of a newspaper clipping from 1990 when I was 9 years old. The San Diego Union reporter had made a picture of me fishing at Lake Poway which my mom kept in a notebook. (the photo is at [...] )
