Parents are still in the house I grew up in. It is REXDALE in north west part of Toronto.
Basicly a ghetto . It has always been dangerous and I am pretty comfortable going back because I was a bad kid growing up and most of my buddies ended up in jail or deported back to Jamaica.
When you grow up there shit happens and you get used to it and think it’s normal but it is pretty screwed up.
In grade 12 five of us got kicked out of the Catholic School board because of a shooting we were “allegedly” involved in and we were so used to dealing with the cops that nobody ratted on each other. Glad we didn’t have cell phones back then .....only bad ass Motorola pagers. Now that sounds like crazy town but back then Normal .
