--Areas of Division--

Eva Sulkosky (7-27-72) House #113

I. The uptown kids were not allowed to go to downtown
& vice versa. Kids who went from their end of
town into the other end of town would be
yelled at, or possibly beaten-up. Downtown was
from the museum office down toward Surgent's
home, & uptown was from Hoopers up toward the
church. This division was true of the younger
children, when a person got to be 13 or 14 years
of age (about dating age), the division wasn't so
stringent. Boys from downtown could date girls
from uptown & vice versa & not worry as much
about being in the right territory.

II. From the museum office down to Surgent's was
mostly Protestants--German people--with just a
few Irish. Uptown from the museum office, &
also the Back Street was comprised mostly of
Slavish, Polish, & Greek people. Shanty St., also
seemed to be comprised of the non-German/Irish
peoples.
