My husband and I drove north from the airport, tracing the usual route through the outskirts of town, past the high school, through the three-block business section into neighborhoods filled with old houses on shady streets. It all looked exactly as it had on every visit for the past 25 years, but an unfamiliar sadness hung in the air when we reached 319 Edgewood.
