Bridge street. More Hispanics there so could get interesting and still a few mom & pop long time multi generational businesses.
Grew up 8 city blocks from there , one side WW vets, then Polish section called Bridesberg.
Had a “ project” on the other side of street , grew up with predominantly black friends and respected each other never thought about skin color.
We were all about 9 years old.
First exposure to the N word came from a joint experience where one guy brought up going to get some candy. I asked where and how much?
He said free, we know where the truckers throw it when they steal it from the shipments and then sell it. We get it and give it out in the neighbors both sides of the street.
Off we go, there it was so we grab it and start to head out. Me the white guy and my 3 black friends. All of a sudden the truckers start yelling come back here you thieving’ N’s” and come after us
With the legs of youth no chance they catch up.
Back in our culvert pipe we used as our fort I ask what was that name they called us .
my black friend takes my arm and points to his and says I’m black and an “N” he points to my arm and says you are “White” and never be like me , but will always be my friend.
A lesson of days gone by that has never been forgotten and unfortunately the race hustlers never point out the many relationships like mine that exist today instead focusing on division even after Obama was elected on many false promises
