What a bunch of fuddy duddies. Gwen talks about stuff that my friends and I have done growing up in the D. We got caught at times and we got away with way more than our fair share when we were young. We had Belle Isle, Foot of Alter, Foot of Connor, Balduck Park and that was just the East side. We used to drag race on Huber Ave between St. Cyril and Mt.Elliot for money. Cruise the main drags and drink and smoke doobies and chase girls. Get in fights, run from the cops and who ever. It was part of growing up.
Spent a few nights in the pokey too because of our antics. But the cops were more like on our side after a few hours and they sure weren't so militant.
Then we grew out of doing that stuff and raised families.
What's different today? This whole idea of zero tolerance and the excessively authoritarian, oppressive justice system. That's just the half of it. Then have to put up with the crazy ass gang bangers with 9's.
It's serious business now to have rebellious fun.
All in good fun... we love being bad cause it sure feels good.
