"It was a good neighborhood for taking pictures in those days, because that was before television. There was a lot happening.
The streets were crowded with all kinds of things . . . not just children. Everything was going on in the street in the summertime. They didn't have air-conditioning. Everybody was out on the stoops, sitting outside, on chairs."
