Lawndale

Were you a kid in the 60s and 70s? Then you’ll love this book. It’s chock full of short stories about growing up during that period in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A time when life was about playing outside, exploring the woods, riding bikes, and playing games in the street.

There were no cell phones, internet, or social media. The news came wrapped in a rubber band and landed on your doorstep thrown by a kid on a bicycle. Nobody wore helmets when they rode their bikes and nobody used seatbelts. You could disappear all day and your parents didn’t even know where you were. Just as long as you made it home in time for dinner. There were only three channels on TV and a gallon of gas was fifty cents.

Travel back to a simpler time with the author as he spins tales about his life growing up in Lawndale, a small suburb of Philadelphia. You’ll see the world through his eyes from kindergarten to high school as he navigates his childhood. From the struggles of adolescence to the fun he and his friends and family had as kids.
