The University School - This is Jeff's school from first grade. The school is free for the children of university professors, although some children's parents pay for them to attend.

Gambo's House - This item stands in sharp contrast to Jeff and the Professor's dark, small Baltimore apartment.

The Martin - This is the beautiful old guitar that the Professor gives Jeff for Christmas when Jeff is twelve.
