First home, first television, first car

After we got married, we lived on the first floor of a rental at 110A Harrison Avenue ...


Our upstairs neighbor was Robert DeNiro's cousin and, more important, a long distance runner. When it was raining, she put in her miles by jumping rope. A lot.

The interior of our $150 a month pad was already furnished, but we added our own touches with wedding gifts and garage sale finds like this classy lamp  ...

I'm pretty sure that's a Scotch and soda that Don's got in hand
We didn't have cable in those days, so TVs came with built-in rabbit ears ...



And when the transmission blew on our used blue wagon, we took the plunge and bought the first of many new cars, a green Chevy Monza that didn't last long at all ...

Note the open window ... no AC
