I lived at Hovingdon Street, I think it was, next to the pub, when I was 4 in 1969. I remember the flats, the vibrant community not far from downtown, and best of all Goose Fair. In truth, the NCC did not upkeep these flats and they were built sub-standard. Great memories, despite what your hear, little to no racism there.
