My friend's childhood home featured

My friend's childhood home will be the featured as the next project on "This Old House". The series starts in January:

Mindy writes for the Boston Globe and she shared her feelings about the upcoming project in an article that ran last week:

It's so nice to see that this home is being renovated vs. torn down. My childhood home was torn down to make room for a McMansion and it still saddens me.
