I was checking out the first apartment we live in when we moved to Van Nuys CA. The building is still at 13760 Sherman Way. I forget the apartment number but we in the top front apartment. Some pictures below:

Mom And me. Our apartment is the top one at the end of the stairs.
Just me in car.
Me on the stairs. And me below eating in my Dad's chair.
In the early 60's I had a parakeet who I named "Kookie" after the character on the TV show 77 Sunset Strip. Kookie use to sit in the venetian blinds and wait for me to come home from school. Sadly one day Kookie flew into a silver container and broke his neck. We buried him in a cigar box in the dirt in front of the apartment. For all I know he still could be under there.
The apartment building was built in 1958. We moved there because it was close to my Dad's work at Flying Tiger Line at Burbank airport. I checked Zillow for this post and a one bedroom, one bath apartment now goes for $1,783! We live a two bedroom apartment which we moved into in April of 1960.
