My first apartment was on 27th and Portland in a big old house that was converted to five apartments. I had a round living room that presented some interesting challenges for furniture. I shared it with a friend and we paid $125/mo. between us. She went back to school so I moved across the alley to 27th and Oakland to an efficiency with an enclosed porch for $80/mo. The guy downstairs would pay my friend down the hall and I to take our clogs off when we came home from the bar so we didn't wake him up. Of course, that didn't stop us from singing "you are my sunshine" through her six foot speakers at 2:00 in the morning. Youth!
Our rendition of air conditioning was to get the sheet wet and turn the fan on. Cigarettes were $.25 a pack and you could get a drink at Moby Dicks for less than a dollar. We walked across 35W to go to Sullivans Super Valu to get groceries until the construction to block off Nicollet for K-Mart started.
