What to do when you are a tourist in Cuernavaca and want to experience Revolution-era Mexico? Pay the attendant to have your picture taken on a beautiful (fake) white horse, complete with trappings and a dramatic backdrop!

The Humble Rec Room
So here is the humble basement rec room of 801 Lalor St. In the 1950s and 60s it was expected that a middle class family remodel their basement (or garage) for more living space or an ‘away’ area from the rest of the house, especially given the emphasis on family togetherness and entertaining.
