Sigh... do you remember back when Geocities was cool?

I had several Geocities sites over the years (those years being 1996-1998). I can't even remember what the addresses were, or even what I put up on those sites exactly. Though I do remember using one for a school project once. They used to have a "Neighborhood" concept going where you would choose a themed neighborhood and then you would be assigned a numerical "address" in that neighborhood. The URL for your site was made up of geocities.com, the neighborhood name, and your address number. It was actually kind of a neat concept. The service was free, so there was ads integrated into all your web pages hosted at Geocities, and if I remember correctly, you were allowed only a limited number of pages and a rather small bit of disk space on their server.
Geocities is now owned by Yahoo, and it appears that the neighborhoods may have given way to new developments.
