Default All the families names, that lived on my block in "1970"
I thought it would be an interesting exercise to try to list all the names of the families that lived on my block when I was young! With the help of a couple lifelong friends we did it! Can you? Our block was built in twin homes, you could hear straight through the walls!

I can remember a handful of names from 1970 but would need to look at Census data to complete the list and that information won’t be available for another 20 years.

Would be interesting to see what they are now in comparison... Half of them might be unpronounceable.

Block? Closest neighbor was over 2 miles away in one direction and over 3 miles the other. But yeah, I remember their names. Best friend one direction and girlfriend the other.

Every one on my street had similar names, either asshole or jackass or shithead, made remembering much easier.
