She married my father...My mother is from the Bronx. She married my father, a Midwestern boy (born in either Chicago or Indiana, we can't seem to decide) and moved to Toledo when she was barely 20. Remnants of her Bronx brogue remain... Normer (Norma) and Dahruhthy (Dorothy) are a couple I recall hearing so often growing up. I have always had a certain amount of delight in hearing inflections from outside Ohio, and somewhat of a knack with talking with them, I think (although surely, those whose accents I mimicked would tell you otherwise).

Graduated high school in 87 and God knows how much money Aqua Net made off of us!<br /><br />Going home isn't the same anymore is it? Going back to my home in South Miami, our lovely neighborhood in the suburbs has changed. The biggest change? Bars on the windows.<br /><br />When I was a kid there in the 70s we could play in the street and everyone knew everyone else in the neighborhood. We could walk home from school alone and...well you know the rest.
