"It really was fantastic." "I worked at AM General for 30 plus years. I don't do much of anything anymore other than go to the gym and take care of my grand kids. That's about it. I've always lived on the Southeast side. The connection in this part of the neighborhood used to be really good, but it was nothing compared to what it was when I was younger... I remember, every year, there was this guy that would come down to an empty lot in our neighborhood and dig a pit. He would bring a hog, and he would roast that hog. He was there the whole day and night roasting that hog. Now I'm not sure if people in the neighborhood would pay him to come down and do that, but everyone would join him and bring food, and oh my... It was such a fun time eatin' that hog. I don't really think about those times anymore, it really was fantastic. Things like that just don't happen around here nowadays."
