"Stickball, Streetcars, and Saturday Matinees" by Cliff Wirth

Recounts the author's experiences growing up in Bayonne, N.J. during the Depression, and discusses amusements such as listening to the radio, visiting the corner store, and playing street games.

Illustrations by the author, Chicago Sun-Times cartoonist Cliff Wirth, depict life in a simpler time. Vignettes offer a wealth of nostalgia for 'the good ol' neighborhood' and its many characters.
