Aerial view of Drawbridge - 1986. Drawbridge had two distinct neighborhoods, a north side, depicted in photo, and a south side. The two sides did not get along. "Mothers at the north end warned
their kids not to go down to the "bad" end of town.
The north end admitted to being "cliquey." The south
end felt the north end was pretty "stuck up." The south
end of town was where most of the Catholics settled - people
of Irish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and a few of German background.
At the north end lived the Protestants, mostly of English and
a few of German background." "We were kinda clique. All of
us stayed up here, stayed up here and we didn't mix much with
those down there, cause they were mostly Portuguese or French
people. But no, they weren't wild, no wilder'n anybody else."
"Well there was some out-and
-out feuding, like Bill Holden and his brother Lou. They went
for years without speaking, shielding their faces with a newspaper."
