As a young child, I lived on Emerald Avenue (near 80th) with my parents on the top floor of a 2-flat. My mother made my brother take me to the Capitol Theatre to see Walt Disney’s Peter Pan in 1954. Until now, I had forgotten about the stars on the ceiling. I also remember Wimpy’s and riding the streetcar with my mother to kindergarten at the Oglesby Elementary School. I drove through the old neighborhood in the early 80’s. Very sadly, it looked like it had been hit by a bomb.
