Front Steps


Suburban Chicago, June 1962. Here's another photo taken fifty years ago. Mom, my paternal Grandmother Tatjana, and I stand on the front steps of my childhood home.

The American dream.

My aunt had a house like that after she moved out of the one she'd lived in after her husband died.

I'd forgotten how it looked.

My bedroom was the one with the window air conditioner. A developer built the homes in 1957, and people said they wouldn't remain standing for more than ten years. Mom lived there until 1991.
