Abstract:
Combine a neighborhood in turmoil, a strong blue-collar family, and a teenager with middle class instincts — what do you get? Row House Blues. . . .
In Jack Myers’ sequel to Row House Days, the Southwest Philadelphia neighborhood of Jimmy Morris’ childhood is no longer simply declining — it’s plunging headlong into the abyss. As neighbors sell out and head for the suburbs, a painful choice confronts the Morrises: to remain in their once-comfortable row home, or opt for a new life beyond the city limits.
The definitive, hard-hitting story of white America’s late-twentieth century exodus from our inner cities.
