Not much too it really ducsauce......Some buddies and I were near the Roseland area on the south side. It still had a strong population of Italians but that was changing fast. At one time it was like a little Italy. Anyway We were walking down the sidewalk and around the cornerand I walked straight into the pipe. I stayed conscious and I believe that saved my life. I think their plan was to knock me out cold but didn't quite work out that way for them.We fought like hell and gave our share back to them. When we got the chance we got the heck outa Dodge!....bleeding the whole time!:D
