Bronx of New York in the twenties; a time of
social unrest and prohibition. The apartment
building Billy lives in is not the epitome of
cleanliness. The streets are littered with papers
and loud noises of the trains that go by every

replaced by cookie cutter houses or factories,
which has been a controversy for decades. Perhaps

through lawns that mimic interiors. People often
perceive that any green space is nature. As
Michael Ventura says, ? Amer...
