Sons, daughters, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
One family who came to mind today while I was thinking back to everyone I grew up with lived on Terrace Place, right off of Prospect Avenue.
They were a large family (like [...]

Amongst other things around Christmas time, who could forget Midnight Mass at Holy Name? I’m not sure when I first attended but I do recall my teen years attending just to stay warm.

One of the many reasons for starting Container Diaries was to have people reach out and re-connect with others from the old neighborhood.
In the comments section on the right side of the Blog, there have been some outstanding contributions from many wonderful people. I sometimes feel though that maybe not all the visitors get a [...]
