Pitch y Catchee 2021... 03*



Let me do the math for you: 114 S to 40 N combines to 154 bus stops. 154 divided by 8, the distance in a city mile, almost 20 miles on Western Avenue alone. This was on a busy Saturday morning through ethnic neighborhoods we had never seen. As far as I can recollect, I had never been north of 6300 south, with family to the Free Fair at 47th and Damen, and maybe that could be said for Frankie, too… Through Mexican, Polish, Puerto Rican neighborhoods, we knew enough to be weary of the black kids. As I recall today, quite a ride for two 12 yr. old boys from the Ridge Morgan Park (RMP) Rip My Pants Southside.

Part 4... soon
