Uptown with Uncle Angelo

The tree-lined street has a bed of stone, with a mixture of small shops and homes, including Zio Angelo's, on either sided. It's obviously "uptown," whereas Aunt Nuzza's house, Nanny's old house, is in "malajira" section. I thought it was a joke at first, but they are serious. When we asked a woman for directions, we mentioned our relationship to Aunt Nuzza, and it only clicked when she connected the dots to "Malu jira. "
