When we’re going through our day to day life, it can be hard to notice the change around us. Whether it’s the neighborhood we’re living in, the job we’re toiling away at, even how our kids are growing up right before our eyes. We know on some level that these things are happening, but it can be hard to step back and appreciate it at the moment.

Here is an updated look at these famous locations. You might be surprised at what changed and what stayed the same.
