You realize it's not Lefrak City-
My Granddad's house in Freeland Pa was one of the most godawful places I've ever
been 6 or 7 miles of Ridge Street lined with the same duplex-triplex-duplex houses
other than the numbers the only way to tell the difference was the change in the

w/ that weird pre-cursor to Dry-Vit some kind of pink cast stone so we are talking
about a single structure w/ 3 dissimilar entrance, 3 roofs, 3 siding details..
