Elderly neighbor...South Philadelphia, 1967

Forty years ago, many of my elderly neighbors on the riverfront in

Philadelphia were immigrants who had disembarked at the Immigration

Station at Washington Avenue, walked a couple of blocks into the

nearby neighborhood, settled and lived there for the next 50 or 60

years, working as longshoremen or at the Navy Yard. Some still spoke

little English; a few had never owned a car. Your comments and

critiques are always welcomed. Thanks...Bill
