Duh, Bobl, it only takes me re-browsing days later to realize we may have been neighbors at one point or another. The only school I attended was EDHS because I was 14 when we moved there in 1968 [[from Georgia St., of all places). Graduated 1972. Ended up with friends in all corners of the town so I could walk anywhere in town and find someone to hang with. Spent many a summer evening in the early 70s in Kennedy Park with a group of peaceful pals giving the air a smoky, fragrant haze...
My mom sold her house in 1984 [[I'd not lived there for 10 years by that time), but one of my brothers bought a place near 9 and Gratiot in the 1990s. I visited him a few weeks ago. His street seems to have as many unoccupied homes as occupied but everything seems to be reasonably well-kept around there in spite of that. Small consolation since he's right near one of the closed elementary schools...
