The newsboys are shouting about Nitti and the Bolsheviks again, but the rising clatter of streetcars and the price of a loaf hitting eleven cents is what truly keeps my nerves frayed. I caught a glimpse of a real sheba flouncing past in beaded silk, her heels clicking a rhythmic backdrop to that new "Whispering" tune drifting from a neighbor’s open window.
I tightly gripped the parcel containing a brand new Raggedy Andy, worrying if the stuffing was worth the exorbitant cost while everyone warns us to just "smile" and forget the Great War. It’s all a load of baloney when my wallet feels lighter by the hour and the air is thick with the hum of these new commercial radio signals.
Memories from that day
