The Pushcart War

Seeing the growth of corporations, and the trampling of independent sellers and unions (looking at you, freight railroads), makes me want to be a part of a pushback that was successful.

So I‘d pick fighting alongside Maxie, Anna, and all the other pushcart workers right now.

#SundayFunday Have a great day and remember to tag me!

This is the book that started my love for #NYC. Read in first or second grade. Begged my mom to take me for years after that.

When the news seems to be full of tragedy, fear, and hate, it's time to dig out the fluffy childhood favorites, where the bad guys get their comeuppance, the heroes triumph, and everything works out for the best. #LucyGirl
