Twenty-Five Years Ago

Twenty-five years ago life seemed different.  I thought I had it figured out -- yeah right. 

Chris and I lived at 307 West Jersey Street, Elizabeth, NJ Apartment # 304.  It was a third story walk-up built in a different era.  The door opened onto a long hallway which led to a large foyer.  The small but servicable kitchen was over to the left and the large sunken living room was straight ahead.  A left turn before you went down into the living room brought you through a smaller hallway directly into the bathroom and the bed room was to the right of that.

The bathroom had a large tub and a separate stall shower, but was otherwise unremarkable.

When we left this apartment for a house in May of 1987 we were paying $385 a month rent.
