Do you know who is living in the city parks? Ever seen strange lights in the woods late at night on the other side of the river? Have you noticed that the gray squirrel population seems to be on the decline along with the green-headed duck population? Through the letters of Jackson get to know Dancing Sammy Ham the one legged tap dancer, Highwater Phil, Miss Randolph the middle-aged cross-dresser, Uncle Everett, Leroy Redhawk the American Indian midget, Miss Hester, Cousin Chester and all of the other often shadowed characters that generally fall under society's radar. If it's raining, they'll save you a seat in the old faded-yellow four-door Dodge sedan with the large black stripe down the side.
