During Steve Kulcinske's interview they are driving around the Powell Park, Hood Park, and Hamilton school neighborhood where he's talking about the buildings and what used to be there. Steve talks about how during the prohibition the taverns could only sell pop but there would be places such as the Tiny Market and Techimers Meat Market where you could buy beer. He mentions that there used to be grocery stores every couple of blocks because people didn't have cars to drive where ever you wanted to. Steve also talks about incidents in the neighborhood such as how the wagon bridge collapsed from when a barge hit it. He also talks about all the breweries that got shut down during the depression and what it was like living during the depression.
