Have you heard of Sunnymead California?

I grew up there between 1970 and 1980. It was a scenic country town and a great place to grow up. Then we had a population explosion. The whole area was renamed 'Moreno Valley' and it's almost as if poor old Sunnymead ceased to exist. Now if I tell someone I grew up in Sunnymead, by March Air Force Base, they will most likely say "Never heard of it." Remember Riverside Raceway? I thought it would be there forever. Now it's a mall. I feel like my childhood got paved over.
