I used to sell papers @ Crescent Hgts.& Sunset

I used to sell papers @ Crescent Hgts.& Sunset, and also in front of Wallich's Music City, in '67-8. I remember once at Crescent Hgts a limo pulled up, the window rolled down, & a woman leaned out and handed me $5."Buy yourself some shoes" she said-it was Zsa-zsa. The leader of our group of vendors was a guy named Mitch. He had a green 56 Chevy panel truck with NO BRAKES! When we'd go to Westwood, we had to open the back doors and drag our feet. He kept lots of pairs of old sneakers in the back for that purpose!
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share some 'old' memories!

I STILL RECALL MITCH BEING THE MAIN MAN WHEN IT CAME TO US WHO HAWKED THE FREEP IN THE STREETS OF HOLLYWOOD...HE WOULD ALWAYS RESPOND WITH AN "OUT OF SIGHT" COMMENT WHEN WE WOULD TRY TO ENGAGE HIM IN A CONVERSATION....
HE WAS ONE WHO INSPIRED ME TO CARRY THE TORCH OF REBELLION
