From the age of nine onward, this was my home in South Euclid, Ohio, shared with parents, four siblings and a cousin.
My sister, three brothers and I sat on those steps, ran round and round the perimeter, climbed the maple tree (at left), raked leaves, threw red rubber balls against the steps, played jacks and spud and tag, roller-skated on the sidewalk and washed those windows with vinegar and water.
Such a good, good place.
