Seems like everyone here wants to go back to the 1950's and have their grandparents living downstairs and their cousins next door, the social club on the corner, the italian bakery across the street, ect...........
Aint ever gonna be like that again.
I think a lot of everyones fascination with Italian neighborhoods are all the great stories you hear everyone tell. There was always action, no one knew they were poor, there was a real sense of community, everyone took care of each other, everything we needed was right outside our door. Very true, it was like that, but keep in mind, those same people in those hoods would dream about living in the suburbs one day.
Everyone wants to grow up like Colegero or whatever his name was in a Bronx Tale. Lol
