Why I left

[mtm49269]

After leaving my parents' house in Hamt. Heights [[D with a 48212 Hamt. zip) lived in my own apartment in Palmer Park until spousal-unit and I decided shack up and rent a townhouse in what was then Honeytree off 275 in Canton around 1986. From there, a spell in a tiny house in B'ham. Then out to CA for about 5 years [[including the Loma Prieta quake) followed by Atlanta for a few months. When we got back, stayed with my mother-in law in Jackson for several months while getting jobs and, eventaully, a house in Livona. Now in Northville but with the job and housing markets being as they are, who knows where we'll be next year.

Dad still lives in the same house and we just visited him for Christmas Eve [[Wigilia). His small enclave of a neighborhood is still safe - mostly same neighbors from when I was growing up there and they all look out for each other.
