“Pig Tail Alley” – Looking NE at E side Myrtle Ave, #55, on June 1, 1964

“There’s a guy named Jack Cashill who lived at 29 Myrtle as a kid in the 50s, right across Pig Tail Alley from me, and he says we hung out together. (We lived at 62 Roseville.) I believe him because he was older and we moved when I was 7, but he remembers things and people that jibe with my hazy memories. Like how I got a 6-inch scar on my left arm.”

  1. I was looking at the interactive map, and this location is marked as demolished. However by looking at the two images, I saw that the structure itself was not demolished. It was just remodeled. If you look closely at the bottom image, you can see they kept the original porch. The house still keeps the footprint of the original, with an extension added in the back. Even some windows are in the same place. So I think they just remodeled the house and added vinyl siding. The original wood siding might still be underneath. (I’m not from this area though. This is all an educated guess.)

    • Hello D.B. You are quite right. This was a typo on the map. I have just updated the map key to illustrate that this building survives. Thank you for noticing this!
