Ditch Jigger Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 4 hours ago, Joe G said: Bob, autism can be difficult to diagnose. I'm unsure if there is even a medical test for it. Many folks have problems with social, emotional and communicative skills, but fall far short of being autistic. Perhaps your being too hard on yourself. There is no medical test for autism, and it can be difficult to diagnose even for professionals. And it often is accompanied by co-morbids like ADHD. And the reason why it's called the autism spectrum is because autistics can vary from barely functional, to geniuses.

Our old hood will never be the same. My Babcia Rose and I would walk from her home on Dorchester Street, to Millbury Street, Water Street, and Shrewsbury Street without a care in the world. WPD had foot patrols walking a beat. I still can recall them walking down a sidewalk, nightstick in hand, saying hi to people. I still have a nightstick belonging to a WP sgt, I believe his name was Jack Kelly. I'm looking at it as we speak. Used to ride my 10 speed all over the city, never had a problem. Joe, imagine being solicited on Millbury Street! The Sultan of Sluggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking mid '50's here. Was on a blind date with a Ward St gal by the name of Wanda, a neighborhood teen with questionable moral values. Made me an "offer" in the back row of the Rialto Theater during a Saturday matinee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mom mentioned the Rialto Theater many times. I think dad used to go there too. Hmm, interesting. My Uncle Jerry married a gal from either Ward or Seymour Street who's name was Wanda. You don't suppose? Do you recall if Wanda had a sister, and if so, what was her name?

After my dad returned from WWII he got a job working at Uncle Tom's Tavern on Millbury Street, and that's where he met Officer Kelly.

Classy. I hope nobody reading this is related to or knows the lady you mentioned. What ever happened to "don't kiss and tell"?

Why sure. Know it well. Had the paper route across the street from it. Walked past it daily. I seem to recall a diner of some sorts nearby on that side of the street. Most likely Kelly worked out of the old WPD substation on Lamartine Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
