This morning I see rat prints in the fresh snow.

Ryan the plumber at ANNE THE PLUMBER showed up as promised. He fixed the leak in an hour! He grew up on Burnside and went to the Social Street School next door so we had some fun neighborhood stories to share. As kids we were told those apartment houses were trouble. Wow, and that was 45 years ago. Yes the design of the dark alleys and porches amongst the tenement buildings make it a perfect attraction, I said. Unfortunately it also has attracted irresponsible slumlords. We've seen it all back here!
