About the Book

This book's short stories follow the author's life growing up in the ethnic neighborhood of San Pedro Street, across from the City Market in Los Angeles. Some of the stories are true happenings and others are fiction.

The fiction stories are written through the author's youthful lens during the Great Depression, World War II, and the post-war eras. They are intended to show that minorities have much in common with mainstream Americans.

These stories are written not only to entertain, but to also help the reader bring back memories of the good old days.
