Thank You! Brought back some memories of a very different way of life, some things may have been better then, but most were not. As a kid, I saw some of that small town poverty, and some of the big town row houses, winos still laying on the sidewalk or slumped in the gutter in the early morning. My most vivid memories of this began about 1950. I remember WW2 vets with both legs shot off moving about on the sidewalks of Baltimore on little wood platforms with 4 caster wheels, pushing themselves along with their knuckles on the pavement, begging and selling nickel pencils. The small towns and rural areas may have had poverty, but they often had a sense of pride, whereas the poverty in the big cities seemed to have no pride whatsoever. Surviving from one day to the next was their main goal, there were no dreams for the handicapped and poor. The disparity between rich and poor was unimaginable.
