One side of the street was four family apts with marble stairs `the other 2 family. Cement everywhere with little spaces for trees. Looks exactly the same.

Then moved to Woodbridge, NJ where my parents built a house on my grandparents property next to them. House and lawn look the same except the long line of wonderful trees my grandfather planted along the property line are gone and an American Flag is in the yard. Gave me a Republican is probably living in the house vibe.
