What on earth is this bridge thing for? It doesn't have a sign on it, and it's clearly not for traveling between the houses. Is it reinforcement, to keep the buildings from collapsing into the street?
My mother was right. VIlna (Vilnius to you) was in fact in Poland at the time that my grandparents emigrated. Which means that it was officially Wilnow. Historical atlases put it in Russia. I realize that both could be true, but if my mother was right about that, maybe she was right about the story of my grandmother and the Cossacks?
