If you were born here and never leaving...
on: March 17, 2014, 04:00:26 AM
Who would you be? 
What would you do to be "happy"?   
What do you think your "dreams" would/could be?

I am genuinely curious.

Where is "here", by the way? It could be in quite a few places...

That is Gravesend East Side where the immigrants live.

But, if so, would that have identified the area concerned as part of Gravesend?
