This Pony Boy, back in the day, purchased a shirt @ Milt's on Michigan Ave in the Harbor. He would get 2  bones off me to buy a can of Hair Spray to get ready for a gig. Plus, he would come by the arcade & eat up my moon pies and cop some now & later; plus the other goodies in the snack shop. Sam used to carry his crate of records as he served his apprentice. Orale vato amor.

    Street is attending a meeting at the Hammond Public Library sometime later. Approached by a young reporter from The Times (Keith B.)." I'm with The Times and told you it might be a good source," Keith tells me. Shit face grin as I put it to him. "The Times, don't you guys get gifts over there?" Street continues. His response blew my mind. "Not anymore, "The reporter told me.
