I am soooooo grateful that my parents weren't rich and we had to living in an
apartment building-a 4th floor walkup........we were two building attached where
we had two courts .... we had instant friends.....rain or snow, we could go into
each others apartments and play games from Chinese checkers to Monopoly ...
We went door to door at Halloween and collected money for the Jerry Lewis
telethon and people knew us and gave....then we'd go downtown to donate
what we collected.
Noone had to drive us anywhere......one block to Burnside Avenue for shopping
I could go on and on of the advantages...I'll just say, I feel very fortunate.
Sadly, they tore down the buildings for a middle school on West Tremont Avenue.
