Birthplace of Ronald Reagan
The apartment was upstairs over the top of a bakery, requiring they climb lots of steep steps to get there. I can't imagine hauling ice for the ice chest, and groceries and such up these stairs. Certainly kept them in good shape. Ronald was born in, and spent his few few months in the front bedroom, while his mother recovered from delivering this 10-lb. bouncing boy.
