I knew a guy who grew up in a small Western town and spent the rest of his life thousands of miles away
When he was in his early nineties, he and his wife visited some of his childhood stomping grounds and spent some time looking at the outside of one of the places he had lived before he went to college
The owners finally wondered what was going on, as these two elderly people walked back and forth in front of the house and up and down the alley beside it, looking and pointing, so came out to inquire
When they learned he had lived there seventy years earlier and didn't remember it looking quite the same way, they invited him inside and showed him what they had redone
But I'm pretty sure it was all the owners' initiative: I doubt the old fellow and his wife would have asked to see the inside
