  • Norton 5/22/08: "Absolutely loved the show on Street cries. We also had a rag man with a horse and cart come down our Belgian block street when I was a very young girl in Pittsburgh, PA. Also, when our friends came to visit, they would stand in front of our house and say, 'Calling on Emmie' or whatever name they wanted. I felt like I was going through an ancient maze in my brain to reach these memories. Thanks, Jean!"
