Szymanski's Boarding House - 574 Walnut St
Widow Szymanski owns and operates this cramped, slightly dingy house. A second floor room is available for $75 a month. Rooms are kept clean; the food, while simple and inexpensive, is well-prepared and tasty. Mrs. Szymanski speaks with a thick Polish accent, and the majority of her boarders are Polish. Father Casimir is a frequent guest at her supper table.
Dr. Stanley Malkowski: the kindly doctor has boarded here for ten years; he has a room on the first floor. Dr. Malkowski is a 59-year-old native of Poland who works mostly in New Jerusalem's poorer neighborhoods. He performs services for free. Dr. Malkowski is protective of his community and may fail to report certain injuries to the police if not in the best interests of his patient. It is also rumored that he has on occasion performed abortions, a criminal offense.
