PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT We took unto ourselves
short beer, took leave of our favo-
rite avenue spot, and Strolled the ole
avenue with reckless abandon that
only comes to those bonn on this mad
strip of humanity. Halfway through
the first block the plaintive chant of
m aged blind woman whined into
our ears. We dropped the usual three
nickelS into her rusted tin cup and
stepped back in time to dodge Ham
bone the famous avenue pilot as he
ducked through the sidewalk traffic,
hurrying somewhere to sit down or
Just to stand and look. Deep into the
next block we met our favorite pan
handler who wanaed to know if we
had change for a five-spot. When we
said we did, he wanted to borrow
two, but we decided against the loan.

raced to beat each other across the
corner. The race ended in a tie,
Nobody was hurt but glass flew across
the evenue and settled with crash;
women screamed, men cursed, and
cops came. The drivers agreed to
clear the streets and meet again in
court. Cops left, and we Strolled on.
The next block wore a quiet express

rough and ready reputation, the quiet
was too much, too unlike the ole
avenue on Saturday night, it was like
a part of the ole stroll dying :. We
didn't like it and let our feet walk
away from it all and into the next
block in time to meet Hambone on
his way down the street at the same
speed. He never side-swiped any
body, he drove well. Farther on two

draft, this wasn't our idea of a pleas
