Memories of a shoeshine boy in Minneapolis in the 1940s and 50s. Mac grew up in the Loop and Seven Corners district. Life in the those days was more innocent, even when shining shoes in the Stockholm and Gay Nineties bar to earn a dime to watch Charlie Chan at the Bijou. You had to spend your money quickly or the bigger kids would shake you down. Poignant, nostalgic, captures the carefree and yet difficult days of World War II and beyond.
