Apartment Living
This is Lafayette Square. Back in the day, it was the old Laffayette Hotel. It's a beautiful, classically styled brick structure. These days it has been reconfigured all over into apartments. Friends of mine from college stayed here when they came to visit me in the 70's. It was quite a place. It was one of the 'in places' to stay before the chain hotels took over and spread about the city. I ran into Leo, a friend from back in my Gorham days, and he has moved into an apartment on the 6th floor. He's got a small kitchen, a living room and a bedroom. Perfect for a single guy in his later years. And of course, the building is in the heart of the city, so Leo can walk all over.
So, let's see.
Got his political books.
Got the internet.
Got food.
Got legs to walk.
Happy man.
great for someone who likes in-city living. :)
ReplyDeleteI can see the attractions to living like that, but so far I just can't pull the trigger.
ReplyDeleteLooks great indeed.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the place!
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect to me!
ReplyDeleteEverything he needs! Not a lot of space for someone with 'stuff' though!
ReplyDeleteI am almost in the same condition of your friend, but the heart of our city isn't what it used to be...
ReplyDeleteMaybe not so reliant on the automobile, too. That would be nice.
ReplyDeleteYes, but alone?
ReplyDeleteYour friend has it all going.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Birdman.. When my back is killing me after a day in my garden I have many thoughts of apartment living :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like an ideal residence and location for a single older person. Much prefer these building to the newer modern ones.
ReplyDeleteBut where do you let the dog out? Or plant summer tomatoes?
