I can tell you what it was like in NYC during that time. Tenement rent was about 30 a month. For that you got a three room apartment. No elevator no air conditioning. Hot night you sleep on the fire escape.
You worked at least a 5 day week. In the 40s your worked a 6 days week off on Sunday.
A good raise was 6 cents an hour.
No one owned a house very few owed a car.
But I still miss that neighborhood I still do.
The good O’l Days..... My Dad worked in Manhattan then we lived in Brooklyn.
