Places Where I've Lived
Well my journaling group writing on various topics. The first is places where we've lived. I loved my home growing up in Silver Lake. I grew up at 204 Lakeview Avenue, East White Plains , NY . Some call it East White Plains , some say West Harrison , but to those who lived there it was Silver Lake . Silver Lake was a predominately Italian hamlet or oasis. Most of the families lived there for generations. Our roots went back to the Mauro and Galasso families. Great-grandfather Galasso owned a lot of property and he has his wife, Victoria , had 10 children. Five boys and five girls. The girls inherited money and each son received a home on Lakeview Avenue . My grandfather, Nicholas, the oldest son, received #204. 204 was a duplex home on the level part of the hill that was Lakeview. My mother grew up there on the left-hand side with my grandparents and her brother and sister. My grandparents still lived there when we moved into the right hand side in the 1960’s.
