WM: There were also the YMCA and the YWCA. I lived at the YW in my youth. It was clean. My own room, shared bathrooms/shower rooms, and two meals a day, breakfast and supper. $13.50/wk. Since I made $39.45 at work. It fit the budget.I have to agree with Mark. Rooming or boarding houses were an urban staple for much of the last century and were especially helpful for
single men and women working in low wage jobs. At least one had a
bedroom, a communal bathroom and one modest communal meal a day. In the
30's-50's, Minneapolis had dozens of these houses!
