I sure could use a Street Thunder for those occasions when I take someone in a wheelchair or walker to the mall. Too many people need to be reminded of their manners. Since the rude ones are at least middle age, they probably have some hearing problems – couldn’t hear their mother’s when they were teens.
May 12, 1985. Philadelphia police bombed a house occupied by MOVE (a radical African American organization headed up by John Africa). There was a big standoff between the group and police during the 70s.
I put the lead picture at about 1973 – how close am I?
