Neighbors feud after homeowner refuses stranger's request to use his yard for her wedding reception: 'She grew up in my house'

• Childhood homes become shrines in our minds, and sometimes we expect others to preserve them as if time had stood still. 

  When I was a teen, a stranger appeared at my childhood home claiming he had lived there before us and asked my parents for a tour to see how it had changed. The irony was that my family was the first residents, so his request became utterly creepy very fast. 

  I learned then what this homeowner knows now: nostalgia makes for good stories, but rarely good houseguests.
