Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaPhilly had changed, but Earl “Feather Hat” Johnson hadn’t—at least not in his mind. He stood by the rail, cigarette between his fingers, watching the crowd pass, oblivious of who he was. Back in ’72, people cleared a path when they saw him coming. He ran dice games in alleyways slick with rain, his pockets fat and his smile sharper than a switchblade. The cops knew him, the hustlers feared him, and the women… well, they always knew where to find him. Now, the city didn’t look his way. Just another old man in a beat-up coat and a hat with a feather that used to mean something. He took a slow drag, tasting the years on his tongue, and for a moment, the smoke almost smelled like respect.
Have a great weekend!
