[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I grew up in Queens. A Lebanese family took over the local grocery store. The night of the July 13, 1977 Blackout, the men in the family turned out with lawn chairs, long guns, boom boxes with cassettes of Middle Eastern music and sweet ice tea.

The plague pasted them by.

Wait.. those weren't Lebanese, they were Southerners.
