lived in an Irish Italian RC area...in NYC. the Italian Kids ranked out the Irish and vice versa. Had there been Jewish kids...they would have gotten their share. the only jewish people I knew owned the candy store and they liked me because I was their BEST comic book customer. other kids they told to buy it or get out...me, they knew I would read, then buy.
I was the same kid at McSoley’s pharmacy in 1970.
