Tioga neighborhood, Philadelphia early Nineteen Fifties

My neighborhood was called Tioga. The busy Pennsylvania Railroad mainline
passed a block away from my row house.
Small and large factories were scattered here and there.
In the early Fifties milk was delivered to the doorstep,
sometimes from a wagon drawn by a horse.
We kids could roam far and wide without much worry.
We spent a lot of time down by the tracks.
