New York Street Games - The Movie

inner city

I want to thank John Murgo for asking me to become a member. I am honored.

When we were kids we never bitched about being poor or not having shoes or not having anything to do. We went out in the streets and created something to do. We improvised toys games and situations. I like to think that I am a better person for it.

Thanks again and bouna fortuna a tutti, Paulie V

We live in Cal. now and try to keep the family together. With so much to do and different work schedules it is tough. Good to chat with you, hang in there. Stay warm on the east coast.

But we were a close family. It was different times though. Don't want to go back there, let's move forward. Let your past be a part of you but don't let you past bring you down.
