Downright Raucous



My algorithmic walk had taken me to a quiet residential area. It did not stay that way for long however. Turning onto Shepard my microphone picked up a series of high pitched shrills coming from the streets well kept backyards. I inched down the sidewalk trying to pinpoint the location of this noise. As a neared one of the driveways a red Radio Flyer wagon being pulled by a young boy and carrying two more of the same age zipped out into the street. Another young boy quickly flowed into the street on a skateboard. Somewhat shocked and thrilled at the same time I watched these boys laugh, yell, taunt, sing, and create a downright raucous in the middle of the road. You can hear their excitement on Shepard Street here.
