This apartment building looks a little run down now.....actually it is a lot run down but back at the end of 1956 this was a fairly new apartment building. Most of our friends who were getting married were moving into garage apartments and paying rent of about $50 a month. We kept looking and looking for a place to live. This two-bedroom apartment with hardwood floors and no air-conditioning was $70 a month but once we saw it, we rationalized that it was a good deal because it was close to the University of Houston where Ned was studying to be a Chemical Engineer and it was close to the bus line so I could easily get to work. We took the apartment. It was the one on the right hand side of the second floor.I can't imagine how we managed to live there....in Houston....without air-conditioning but we did for two years.
