In 1949, when my parents immigrated/emigrated? To the US, their sponsors gave them a place to,stay in Chicago on Clybourn… granted it’s probably a long street but anyway, the front of the apartment building was the Kafana - coffee drinking chess players convened there….
Once again...I just love your writing style, the content, the tone, the everything.
Thanks so much Claudia. You’re really kind!
Dang, Martha. We just missed each other in Chicago, I think - I left in 1996. We're reading the same books.
Ha! Totally. I moved here for real in 1995
I loved this. Describing your process must have been difficult but you captured it perfectly.

Oh, interesting! I forgot your folks first came to Chicago. Clybourn is a pretty long street to be sure ...
