Well, sort of. Kamala Harris has been in Salt Lake City for a few days getting ready for the debate. Oct 4 she walked uphill towards the state capitol on, what else? State street. Photographers caught her pausing at a staircase that was shared my grandparents and a neighbor.
We loved this house. Didn't know as a kid that it was historic. Memories walking up to the Capitol building with Grandpa when I was a small child. Across the street, behind the house, was a steep cement staircase that went down to Memorial Grove. And the house itself was full of fun places for little girls to explore. They had a player piano that Grandpa would pump to play his favorite songs.
The house was too much for my Grandma to keep up after he died and she moved to an apartment. Whenever I'm in Salt Lake and can find the time, I take a sentimental journey to 210 N. State and other family places.

##5&6 show lots of aunts and uncles following Grandpa's funeral, and Grandma looking out the window of her home.
Lots of fun memories and nostalgia for a simpler time and place.
