Tales From 2nd Street

The Raft: episode 3 of Brewerytown a1950's Memoir: the Billy Chronicles

Doug Scott

 Remembering the things we did as kids often  makes me smile but also leaves me shuddering and thanking my lucky stars. It's hard to imagine back in those years, that like Billy, the star of our show, I was one of the  thousands of kids, roaming  the streets of Philly while our parents worked. Our parents, for the most part, had no idea of what we did during those unsupervised, unscripted days, except if we got into trouble. How did we survive?  Here's more reminiscences from the Billy Chronicles.  Enjoy.
