"America is an apsirational society" writes Joe Queenan in a recent column the "Guardian." He should know as he grew up in the Schuylkill Falls housing project near East Falls in Philadelphia and is now a successful culture critic and author of several books. Queenan's new book, "Closing Time" is about growing up in working-class Irish American Philadelphia in the 1950s and 1960s.
This report hits home because I am so familiar with all of the places that he speaks about.
It is interesting how the city of Philadelphia has changed so much and is in the constant state of flux.
