they even had their own street lights. cost a fortune to live there. can only imagine how much it is now. we left in '89.

we lived in an apartment building with 105 apartments -- 7 floors. lived on the 6th floor right on 62 rd and yellowstone blvd. it was nice because the street in back of us had 2 family homes and there was a school and park across the street so we didn't feel so "closed in".

loved to shop on austin st. i've never been back but my granddaughter has and she said some of the stores are still there.
