In 1993, I moved into my first home, a bungalow, located at 602 North Bosart Avenue in the Emerson Heights neighborhood just west of Irvington. From my front porch in the middle of the block, I could look north or south and see all the way through a tunnel of porches. The development had been built as a middle class neighborhood in the 1910s near a street car line. Sitting on that front porch on pleasant days allowed me to meet many of my neighbors.
