[or-roots] Pretty boxes

[Connie Guardino]

The seven years I lived in California, I learned all about "little
boxes." Street after street of them. In Salinas, there were streets of
what were known as "flat tops." We lived in the upwardly mobile "gravel
tops." And then there were the ultra rich "shake tops." But they were
all "little boxes all the same." Was glad to move back to Oregon where
there was more originality. My folks had a house built in Eugene of
their own design.
