My father grew up in a tenement in the 1930's in Fall River, Massachusetts. There were always tons of kids to play with, he spent all day outside playing Baseball, football, skating on the shallow pond in the park across the street from his house. Everyone was in the neighborhood was pretty poor, so no one felt bad about it (though some were worse off than others). There was the city dump a few blocks away that was always smoldering; not a coincidence that it was in the poor part of town! (Most of town was poor).
