Gone baby gone and The Town which is a great movie and also true not the Fenway robbery, but other scores that that crew pulled until the heroin brought them down , but both pictures capture the bleakness and violence of the neighborhood in the shadow of the state prison where I grew up , I was in trouble by the age of 10 and left the country in fear for my life by 15 , it worked out for me but not for most .I’m not saying people didn’t get out but very few that I knew did , it was the only life most of us saw or knew and looking back I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
