"If you did not have fun growing up as a child you did not grow up in Brownsville, Brooklyn." This book is the joy of a boy from early age, experiencing the pleasures of one's life that contributed to my growth, independence, and happiness. The "STREET" encompassed your earlier years that formed your future understanding of life in general. Your home life really only consisted of sleeping, eating and listening to your favorite radio shows. "LOVE" was shown by my parent's responsibility to us.
