Back to the Old House.
Novorossiysk is also my hometown! I was born here 50.5 years ago. My family lived in this here building – 21, Revolution of 1905 Street – for many years. We moved away in the early seventies to Khlebnikovo in the Moscow Region, which is where I started going to school.
Here’s number 21:
In this yard I played in the sandbox, rode my first bicycle, and climbed the apricot and mulberry trees… Oh, the nostalgia!
And this is how the building looked in 2002. An illustrative example of how the city has nicely improved since then:
And the nursery I used to go to across the street – sadly no more. A residential building now stands in its place.
