5. I lived there

from 1952 to 1973. My parents left in 1964 for Syracuse, NY and I refused to go with them. I went from my home on the Near West Side to what would later become Miffland but was then just West Mifflin St., to the lakeshore on E. Gilman, to the South Side, to Wil-Mar, to finally the Atwood neighborhood where my late ex and I bought a house. But finally the winters drove me out. One January where the temperature got above 10 degrees exactly 5 times and I was stuck indoors with a small baby was ENOUGH! We moved to Tennessee after that.
