Sometimes I’ll notice that a building that I used to drive by all the time is gone (leveled to the ground). I know it’s gone, but I can’t remember what it looked like or what was in it. I just know it’s gone.

Is there a name for this?

    That totally happened to me the other day when I was visiting the town I grew up in. It’s only a little over an hour away by car, but I hadn’t walked around the downtown in years, and it’s so different that I couldn’t even remember what buildings used to be when they were replaced sometimes.
