Furnished Reunion


Urbana, Illinois, June 1981. This was the living room of my furnished apartment.

Looks more like the 60s than the 80s.

Cinder block seemed a blessing, after death from cleaned carpets at Washington/Racine in Urbana. N.B. Landlords: if you close windows in August, you will grow death-mold. I spent eight hours in the apartment courtyard, heaving with crossed eyes. Next most toxic experience: mushroom soup poisoning at the Green Bay, WI Oneida hotel/casino.

I kept the drapes drawn because the sliders opened onto a courtyard that was accessible to the public. Someone burglarized the neighboring apartment--in which an expensive stereo system was visible--and I got nervous. Back then, I owned a Nakamichi tape deck, and I treasured it.
