I lived the first 12 years of my life on the 1300 block of Bell Avenue in North Braddock, PA.
On that block, I regularly heard five languages other than English.
On that block, I interacted daily with members of at least eight different ethnic groups.
From the corner of that block, I could look down past the Pennsy tracks to Braddock, and see the spires of that many ethnic parishes.
Is it any wonder that Toad's mantra of "Excitement! Adventure! Change!" rang true with me?
