[Cz-L] two questions

I have two different questions for all the Czernowitzers with great
memory of the past:

1) Thanks to entries from the 1936 Cz directory, I now know the
address of my father's younger brother at that time. My question is
about the "stadplan" area for him, which was written as "CL". All the
others on the list were in stadplan CZ. Does anyone know where the CL
neighborhood was in the city, what kind of neighborhood that was (I
can tell that it is not where the affluent central Herrengasse and
Hauptstrasse are), and what the CL initials stand for?

2) Does anyone remember stories their parents or grandparents told
them about what Czernowitz life was like for them, perhaps between
the 1870's to 1890's, or around 1900? I am learning so much from your
own wonderfully written memories about life and culture during your
own childhood years, right through the awful times of the1940's, and
that helps me to "know" the experiences of my family who remained in
Czernowitz after my father left for America in 1911. But I don't have
any feeling for what the life and culture of Jewish families was like
in the time of my father's childhood (he was born in 1893) and that
of his older siblings and his parents. Did your parents and
grandparents talk about their own childhood and young adult years?
Were their experiences growing up very different from yours? Had they
all been born in Czernowitz, or, if not, where had they come from,
where had they been born?
