Oberlin Blogs Where I Am August 27, 2010 Harris Lapiroff ’10 A two-story house with a porch, with several parts labelled (line drawing). The kitchen: home to a great many meals. Ma'ayan’s room: home to a truly awesome housemate. My bike (in back yard): doesn't have a kickstand. Living room: home to tons of tea and Star Craft LAN parties. My room: home to several bookshelves, art suppoies, a huge mess, and me! Second floor: home to two more awesome housies and Geek Studios. A hand-drawn map of northeast Oberlin shows the area bound by (and surrounding) North Main Street, Lorain Street, Union Street, and Professor Street. North (around Union Street) My summer 2008 house. Slapdash house: home of different groups of friends, three years running. Brandi’s house: home of sweet tea, delicious baked goods, and small blues dances. My house.
