To get a feel for the "corner" read my profile.
Once we felt there were some guys who lived about a 2 miles from the corner who we felt had been bothering the Corner. We thought that they hung out in a big vacacant field. Why we imagined this I have no idea. Anyway one night we got this older guy who had what I thought was a really good looking car, a maroon coupe that looked like a hot rod. We met him at this field and he drove thru it with us following behind like behind a tank. We , lucky for us , found none there. But we did feel like we did something important? We talked about this expedition for a while.
Another thing I remember partially. One summer day I heard that a couple of the guys took off [ran away] for some much needed r and r. I seem to remember that their families had them brought back. I remember who the guys were, but Ace and I differ on the circumstances. Maybe the guys could refresh my memory?
About Me
- Jay Norman Davis
- chicago, illinois, United States
- Education was in Chicago, Emmett Grammar school and The Austin High School. Higher education was the corner of Madison and Central, "The Corner" on Chicago's west side. On one corner of "The Corner" was a drug store with a soda fountain where you could get drinks, etc. Outside among other things we pitched pennies and just hung out. On the other side of the street was Emmett Grammar School and the playground {PG}. It had a huge ball field where we spent alot of time. And down the street was the Bowling Alley [BA]., with about 32 alleys and pool and billiard tables. Alot of time was spent up there also. The Corner was a busy place where there were always "Characters" around from young guys to older men. Bookies, Gambling, and just hanging out. This was what we did from around 6th grade on. No drugs, no violence, just fun and sports and hanging out.
