carol ott online: life and work in pigtown

Listening to Bruce Springsteen’s new album - Magic. There’s a song called “Long Walk Home” and I found this verse rather poignant:

Here everybody has a neighbor
Everybody has a friend
Everybody has a reason to begin again

My father said “Son, we’re lucky in this town,
It’s a beautiful place to be born.
It just wraps its arms around you,
Nobody crowds you and nobody goes it alone”
