For some reason I never took a picture of our building from the outside. This picture was given to me from a Plattsburgh alumnus who happened to have it (Thanks Ray Daley). As can be seen from the kids' fashions, the picture is from the early 80's and predates the time I lived in the building. But the place hadn't changed much so it works.

The building consisted of 5 apartments plus the general store, "The Chuck Wagon." We were on the 3rd floor in the apartment on the viewer's right. The market carried the necessities that one often forgot, was horribly overpriced, and run by a guy who didn't seem to have much joy in life. Not shown in the picture is the laundromat next door which was also run by Mr. Personality. It was a pretty busy intersection (esp. around 2:15 am saturday night) in that most frat/sorority houses were on one of the two streets shown and was in between campus and downtown. Campus was 2 blocks to the viewer's right. Downtown was approx 4-5 blocks to the viewers left.

It was a great college apartment. It was fully furnished with crappy furniture and a beer soaked rug. In other words, we didn't care about anything we didn't own ourselves. We had a keg party at least once a month and usualy more often than that. All our neighbors were also college students so noise was not a problem. The kitchen housed the keg and tended to be the focal point for drinking games. The living room was for dancing and other socializing. In the later years, the smaller bedroom was kept open for those interested in watching whatever sporting event was on. The large bedroom had my plastic tip dartboard for people to play. The balcony shown in the picture was strictly off-limits (in the early parties, people would go out and take care of business when the bathroom was occupied).

Guess what......? It's my room from when I was little (age 6 til college)!! 1970s to the max. My mom said she's finally ready to redecorate (I'm 42 for goodness sakes) so I took some pics. Can you believe that wallpaper! The colors used to be even brighter, if you can imagine that! Actually it all looks kinda cool all over again!

I used to have lots of collectibles on the hutch--you can see one very sweet porcelain girl in the upper right. My mom picked out all unfinished furniture for me and my brothers and painted it. My grandma made the pillows. The bedspread is eyelet. And Bo Peep above the bed.
