Ducktown was a great place at one time ,like most of the Italian neighborhoods are going away . What a small part of the city it was really only four blocks wide .And yes everyone knew one another . But it is gone now ....I am surprised you did not work at one of the bakerys or at the Whithouse subs most of the kids in Ducktown did that or cop or firemen.

As far as knowing the Scarfo's it was hard not to. Ducktown is way to small .People knew everyone's bizz and it omly took a few days to find out mob bizz back in the day. You also when you were small had Phil's wife and her family as neighbors before they moved around the corner on to Georgia ave. they did not move far ,around five houses and right behind Regina Pharmacy.

You would not believe the streets now, I have not seen a Italian walk down any of the streets in ten years or more.

The clothes people ware now are the garb from India or one of those places.

Very sad to the people that built the city ,my grandfather was one of them.
