Spoilers Stranger Things Season 5 - SPOILERS

[Morrus]

As an aside, I was born in late March 1981. Holly's fictional birthday is early October 1980, so she's about 6 months older than me. It's kinda cool but also kinda creepy that there's basically a character my age in this show.

If shows having characters who are similar to your age creeps you out, that's gonna happen... a lot.

It doesn't really. I don't know why I said that. Besides, they appear to have retconned Holly's age so she's now 9 or 10, so she'd have to have been born in the 70s. The Wheelers are no longer quite so close a fit to my family as they previously were.

Weird question --

The Upside Down mirrors the real world, including the buildings.

If a new building is built in the real world, does it appear in the Upside Down?

And if you build a building in the Upside Down.... does that appear in the real world?

I don't think so. The Upside Down mirrors Hawkins at a specific point in time. It doesn't change as Hawkins changes. It was like a snapshot of a specific point in time and the two have now diverged.

One thing that I find weird is how they call it the Upside Down, but it only seems to be reversed with horizontal portals (the one at the bottom of the lake, the one in the ceiling of Eddie's uncle's RV, possibly the rifts in the ground in Hawkins). The vertical portals all act like normal doors.

I was kind of wondering about that too. Maybe, because the buildings in Hawkins seem to be on the older side, everything was created as it is when Vecna "turned"? I don't remember seeing anything particularly new, apart from the base the military built there.
