Growing Up Philly: From Southwest Philadelphia to the Jersey Shore

Philadelphia is a series of neighborhoods. We have South Philly, Southwest Philly, Grays Ferry, Fishtown, Kensington, Olney, the Great Northeast, the list is almost endless. McCullough’s book concentrates on Southwest Philadelphia and how we lived daily. From the late 1950s to the mid-1980s, McCullough discusses the games he used to play and how his neighbors kept a close eye on all of us His hope is to bring back wonderful memories to those who grew up this way and to others who are looking for a smile, a laugh, or maybe a tear or two.
