Supposed, Upcoming 44th Street Reunion
So the other day I was on line and someone I know from the old neighborhood IMed me. You know in the tech age IMing is just as good as running into them on the corner, only you don't actually have to see them, or have them see you and the mess, or success you have become. So Mare, or Scary Ann as she is affectionately known let me know about a reunion that is in the works. I can only imagine that it will be the equivalent of the best of the neighborhood block party or something like that. In any rate after Iming, we spoke briefly and I was reminded of some of the people that I knew from the block and wondered if I wanted to see these people after I escaped...I mean after I moved away years ago.
It was a truly interesting place to live, some of the people were truly characters, there was a guy who lived with an endless procession of transexuals. She males. This, while now seems to be intriguing to a multitude of internet porn fans, it was, how can I put it gently..FUCKING WEIRD to a kid who didn't know what it was at the time. I remember sitting on my stoop playing some kind of board game and two of them walked by, a savvy older kid made a rude comment to one of them, who looked like some sleazy looking woman, and one turned around, and grabbed he/she/its crotch and with a deep voice suggested that my friend suck him off. Those two and many others passed through our block, and eventually one, named Tanisha came by who seemed like a genuinely nice person, and while I am not commenting on the lifestyle, or pretend to know anything about the transgendered, the ones on the block before her seemed like nothing more than prostitues. Tanisha suffered some beatings from the hands of her live in lover/landlord and disappeared months later.
Ally, Paco and Rabane (not their real names) lived in an apartment on the block and one was a drunk, one a nutcase on SSI (don't act like you don't know what it is) and another a low priced whore. (sorry that isn't politically correct, she was a cut rate call girl) She primarily was in the service industry, that is servicing the police and garbage men daily. Every day at various intervals a police car would park or double park in front of the apartment and one of the officers would go up into the apartment and about twenty minutes later (sometimes longer but usually shorter intervals of time would elapse when) he would come down and sometimes his partner would go up. The same tag team fucking could be said of the sanitation workers when they were on their scheduled route, at times we would even have bonus visits from our G men, though they never did pick up the trash on those days.
The older of the brothers had a penchant for younger girls he was in his twenties and used to cruise by the middle schools to pick up chicks. Many nights the police would come by looking for him. When not contributing to the delinquency of minors he and his brother would rip off cars, replace the tags with ones they found in the junkyard, prime them black and drive them. Well I know what you're thinking and yes, they did get picked up by the police on more than one occasion.
