Based largely in the 60s and 70s, this blog entails memories and stories of growing up on East 24th Street between Wallace and Ash Streets in Erie, PA. Travel back to the days of no cell phones, milk men, bell bottoms and grocery store tabs. Some memories may be humorous while others bittersweet but they are all true. I encourage you to browse past posts starting from the beginning. Enjoy!

A Maintenance Man with a Secret
The maintenance man at St. John's School was Mr. Hines.
A stocky and gentle soul, Mr. Hines did all there was to do to keep SJS running smooth.
He spent most of his time in the Boiler Room.
The Boiler Room...I always thought that it had a strange ring to it.
I always imagined it sounds like something from Hogan's Heros. Y'know when Col.Klink would yell at Hogan..."HOGAAN...To the COOLER!", "HOGAAN, To the BOILER ROOM!"
Anyway, Mr. Hines had a missing thumb which led to much speculation.
I'll let the comic take it from here.
