Damn, Zacha, when I went to Denby [[1953-1954), I walked twelve blocks down Grayton to get there and back home every day and it was one of the safest places in the city. Now the walk to school there is "harrowing".
Like they say, "you can't go home again".
Northeast on Nottingham to Grayton, then northwest on Grayton [[Nottingham, Beaconsfield, Roxbury, Lakepointe, Rossiter, Wayburn, Lansdowne, Whitehill, Laing, Duchess, Riad, Payton, and Kelly). Denby was on the corner of Grayton and Kelly. As I walked, kids would come out of each of the side streets until we had a small mob moving towards Denby [[there were about 4,400 students in Denby at that time).
