Can't be the same road. The one that I was told about was uphill both ways.

Once upon a time in the ‘50s was long before ERA and a woman’s income from selling Avon, etc., could be counted when applying for a loan to buy a house. So it now takes two incomes and that’s still not enough. When President John Kennedy was assassinated on this day in 1963, we lived in a brand new 900 sq ft brick house that cost less than $10,000. Payment including taxes and insurance was less than $80.
