Summary Between 1978 and 1990, Peter Anastas published 620 columns on the editorial page of his hometown newspaper, the Gloucester Daily Times. Anastas' weekly column, "This Side of the Cut," recalled his childhood during the 1940s. He shared stories of his Greek immigrant family and the rich diversity of social life he experienced growing up on the Boulevard and in Gloucester's inner city. What shines through these selected newspaper columns, and those he subsequently wrote for alternative media under the rubric of "A Walker in the City," is a native's love and concern for his someplace.
