My grandparents lived at 41 Sheriff St. I lived at 59 Seaforde St. across Kilmood St., and hung out at 15 Lowry St. My friends were Betty and Maire Burns. Marion and Agnes O'Neill. Maura Stratton, Dorothy Mc Ginty, Ann Burns, Madeline Lundy, Ann Mc Glade. The area was a slum, ghetto, but we didn't know it. We were all in the same boat. I left for the USA in 1957 and still cherish the fun we had especially in the summer and Sundays going out to Stormount, Ormeau Rd Park, the Pop, the Hippadrome and the Winkie. Going the the Market on Fridays, getting a piece of ice from the fish market. Sneaking on the bus because we had no money. Long walks out to the country and rolling down the Mount. If any of my old friends are still out there, I remember all of you fondly. All the best.
