As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: when the parents come to visit, you tidy up the house (a little), put on your best bib and tucker (or your cleanest pair of jeans), and get taken out somewhere swanky for dinner. In the 1950s, maybe it was the Town and Country on Princess Street, where a rib-eye steak would set Dad back a buck fifty. Regardless, it was a welcome break from boxed mac and cheese.
For decades, one of the places to go has been Chez Piggy, and it was on the top of the list in the early spring of 1981 when the restaurant was just two years old. Allison Fellowes, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션82, has a reason to remember being taken there that March. Her dad snapped a photo of her and her mom, resplendent in high heels and mid-calf fur coats (PETA카지노 게임 컬렉션s anti-fur campaign was just getting started) on the gingerbread-crowned porch of 187 카지노게임사이트 Avenue.
For Ms. Fellowes, the photograph is more than a memento of an excellent lunch. It is a reminder of two wonderful years lived practically in the heart of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s campus with four housemates who, more than four decades later, remain friends.
The 130-year-old, 2½-storey house at 187 카지노게임사이트 hasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t changed much since Ms. Fellowes called it home. The wooden porch is now concrete and wrought iron, but the gingerbread is still there, if missing a detail or two. The house is owned by the university now but, in 1980, it was an house, among those offered to students each year by lottery.
That year, the lottery bestowed 187 카지노게임사이트 on Leslie Konantz (now Landell), Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션81, a student going into third year, and she knew who she would invite to share her windfall. It was the same four women she had met in Victoria Hall in her first year, and with whom she shared a house on Brock Street in second year: Ms. Fellowes, Laurel Brown, Com카지노 게임 컬렉션82, and Leslie Jamison, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션82, among them.
There was no question the housemates would move, remembers Ms. Fellowes. Alma Mater Society houses were cheaper than private rentals and well maintained. But most compelling was 187 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션s location. The Brock Street house was near campus; 187 카지노게임사이트 was on it. Today, you could practically throw a Frisbee from the front yard of 187 카지노게임사이트 and break a window at Stauffer Library. The John Deutsch 카지노게임사이트 Centre, then home to the Quiet Pub (now the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Pub) was within strolling distance.
카지노 게임 컬렉션A couple of us worked 카지노 게임 컬렉션 on campus,카지노 게임 컬렉션 recalls Ms. Fellowes. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I could walk home easily, which was awesome,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
And the fellowship within the house was great, she adds. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I don카지노 게임 컬렉션t remember any arguments or problems 카지노 게임 컬렉션 We did eat together from Sunday to Thursday. We each had a night 카지노 게임 컬렉션 You bought your food and you cooked it and cleaned up.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We were like a bit of a family unit.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The house revealed an unexpected advantage. 카지노게임사이트 Avenue was 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and still is 카지노 게임 컬렉션 a major thoroughfare for students walking to class. 카지노 게임 컬렉션You get kind of known on campus when you live [in that block] on 카지노게임사이트,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션People would see you on the front porch and talk to you.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Ms. Fellowes figures her Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s experience changed with that four-block move from Brock Street. In her last two years at the university, she felt embraced by its campus, largely thanks to 187 카지노게임사이트.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I got to know a lot of students just being there,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says. Same housemates, but the location made all the difference.
