  • Mrs. Bayle

    It was a small apartment building. 3 floors, 2 apartments on each. Mrs. Bayle has been there since forever, the oldest tenant in the building. She was the one who kept the flowers hanging at the porch. The building was not a masterpiece of architecture, all white, old, non-attractive. She kept the flowers to beautify Read more
