Tales From 2nd Street
A good story lures then captivates us with elements of Conflict, Struggle and Resolution. We want to know what happened, how it happened and how it was resolved. It could be "ripped from the headlines," or something that Uncle Al told us at the dinner table on Thanksgiving. "TALES" will present vignettes from the lives of ordinary people as well as original tales of fiction. Let us know what you think about our work. Contact us at: dougs2ndst@gmail.com. We welcome you to our family of listeners. Doug Scott
