California Avenue

California Avenue Shells of two story houses line a brick-laden street single dwellings converted into apartment buildings. The street of acquaintances becomes one of strangers, and no one seems to care about those who come and go, and they don’t care, either. Stories told resonate, of summer nights when people sat on porches and invited passersby to join conversations. Facades of houses remain and hide parceled interiors now rented, lives hidden in walls of their creation.
