Karen's Story
My Life Story Hmmm. More like Our Life Story. All I can say is "remember when".
Mulligan Jr. High and English class with Mrs. Mulligan?
Sitting in the classroom downstairs facing the parking lot, while an angry mob passes by the window welding weapons and the whole of three precincts surrounding the grounds, in full riot gear.
The tracks.
The candy store on Suffolk Ave.
The State Hospital. That actually used to be our playground.
High School at Reed.
The riots.
Moving to the new round High School building and losing all sense of balance caused by going around and around. Everything was lefts or rights.
The riots.
Lunchroom, in the new High School and finally getting Pizza on the menu.
The riots.
Running for our lives, from the riots.

CI was the weirdest place I've been. Not kid friendly. We made our own safe places to play amongst the rusted metal and abandoned buildings. Cordello Ave School was a fond memory. Getting picked to be school guard was a pretty big event. It didn't last too long, I was like a gestapo. How many people remember the old movie house on Wheeler Road. That's a vivid memory for me. Or cutting through the state hospital to get across to the other side of town.
There was a strange little middle school tucked behind the rec center. I forget it's name.
Anyway, I'm back in school studying Criminology. Eventually I would like to develop the ideal town. There are a few places in CI that was good for us, but for the life of me I can't remember what.
