I think this is just a more common anecdote for older generations. As a child I remember my dad taking me to his old neighborhood in NYC. It must have been over 15 years since he'd been back but all the business owners remembered him and greeted him by name.

I went back as an adult a few years ago and all those shops are gone and the neighborhood is completely gentrified. It's just a different world now.
