My parents owned a neighborhood bar called the M Ninety－Seven, named for a nearby highway, on the corner of State Fair and Hoover Avenues in Detroit.Built in the 1930s, it had a long wooden bar that was on the right as you walked in.I grew up in the bar.When most kids my age were at the park playing ball or riding bikes, I was watching old men shoot pool and play shuffleboard(沙壶球)．
My father spent his entire life serving drinks and bringing cheer to customers.There were the white－collars who would stop in to unwind from the day’s stress.They would bend elbows with the blue－collars and day laborers on either side of them.It always surprised me that they were able to mingle(交往)．I would sit at the last table by the kitchen, sipping Cokes and eating a bag of Better Made potato chips with my twin sister, watching it all.
It was the 1960s version of a reality show.There was Big Bill, the tough talking policeman who stood six and a half feet tall and weighed just shy of the beer truck he drank daily.His views on society could be hard to listen to at times.But one night, he showed that he was all talk.While Bill was on patrol(巡逻), a call came over the radio about an apartment fire.He raced scout car to the scene, beating even the fire crew.The building was ablaze.He ran up three flights of stairs through smoke and flames to rescue two frightened children.Bill carried them out in his arms like each was a carton of eggs.The man with an explosive mouth but a keg－sized heart had saved the day.
Years passed, my father died, and the bar was sold.Like secondhand smoke, the words and the scenes from that bar stayed with me.
