And on Riverside's Summit Road ...

22 Summit Road, priced at $2.795 million has sold for $3.1 million. Sold for $1.960 in December 2021, and $1.809 in 2017.

Back in the day, one of my closest childhood friends lived in the blue house you can just see to the right, and we played there frequently. 22 Summit was occupied by a grumpy, childless older couple who’d yell at us when we strayed into their backyard. They had a German name and although they were probably third-generation or so, today we could probably report them to ICE and enjoyed watching them hauled out of their house for interrogation. They were on the same party line as my friend’s famiy, however, and Mrs. Kraut might have overheard our call — that wouldn’t have been good.

Riverside is not the town I grew up in.
