My apartment I got near my office was built in the 1960’s (it’s an iconic building in Chicago), and so has all the original appliances in the kitchen (except the fridge). It looks like the kind of apartment Don Draper would rent for his mistress.
The broom closet in the kitchen has 2 metal shelves, and the paint is chipped off the lower one right in the middle. I wondered why this was until one day, I needed to open a beer and couldn’t find a bottle opener. To the cabinet I went, and it all became clear: decades of people who couldn’t find the bottle opener.
