Old Stomping Grounds



When I was home for my mother's funeral I took some time to visit two of our old homes. Both places are in Grand Rapids. The red house was our first place in the city. Our first night there a sex worker was stabbed two blocks from my bedroom window. The apartment building is in a complex on Alpine. It too was shady but not as bad as the red house neighborhood. The red house is currently for sale and I toyed with the idea of buying it. Then I remembered the murdered sex worker and decided against it.
