we made it to Gary, Indiana, the home town and house of the Jackson's (Jackson 5, Michael
Jackson the King of Pop)....several vendors were set up on the Jackson Street....seemed to me the merchadise was higher in
price the closer the booth space was to the Jackson house...NOT A PROBLEM.... I had to go into barganing mode to get a discount....I
managed to get the price reduced on one of the BADDest Michael Jackson t-shirts by vendor William C. Salaam who happened
to live directly accross the street from the Jackson home where his booth was set up.....he told Zaakirah "she tied up her
shirt, showed her stomach and I don't know what happened but she just hustled me out of a t-shirt"...William was classic and
believe it or not....William spotted me in Cincinnatti at the Jazz Festival while myself, Gloria, and Nadya was strolling
around....hahhahahaahha I had to hit him up for a complimentary t-shirt just cus I was a return customer....
When I got back to Cali and showed Zaakirah photos of William, Nadya, and Gloria together...she
freaked and said "wait a minute"!!!!! "he looks familiar, how did? how????" hahahhahahaaha...... William is everywhere selling
the very best in Michael Jackson T-Shirts......Fatimah....

Memories of growing up And working hard Our childhood
passed us by
Mom and dad They sacrificed their wants and needs So we could reach the light
Although the
times were tough for us We knew they both worked hard They gave us all their hearts could give
And still made
room for love We're all united And standing strong And still today We're one big family
(chorus) 2300
jackson street Always home 2300 jackson street Always home
Oooooo In harmony, together we'll Join hands
and sing Our love across the land
Remember we always said, if we got a chance We'll plan our work And work
our master plan
Although the road of life is tough It has its ups and downs We are the one and all If we stay
together We can conquer all
We are united And standing strong And still today We're one big family Oooooooh
(chorus)
Mother
and father They raised us to be The best that we could be
Now the stage is set The curtain's up The crowd
applauds your name
Then give a smile Lets do you're best No matter how far we go
