SynopsisAt the end of World War II New York City went through a period of transformation - loved ones were reunited and babies were born into a new era. African American soldiers who fought in the name of democracy demanded equal rights at home. Women left the factories and returned to the domestic front to raise children and cater to their husbands. Vivian Cherry charts this period with lively vignettes full of compassion and gritty street scenes exuding social conciousness., A monograph of black and white photography, that is equal parts history and art, 'Helluva Town' fuses gritty street scenes with warmth and gentleness to present lively vignettes and cityscapes.

The sunset of the immigrants of the city which they built
It shows American just at the end of the Second World War when the immigrants of the early 20th century are in middle age and the changes in our city are becoming evident. Yes, the groups of immigrants are still in the city with the children getting married and leaving for the areas of Long Island. A fabric of the early waves of immigrants is slowly fading but not totally. It does come about until the late 1970's when the Blackout and waves of whatever is left of the immigrants from years ago leaves for children in Long Island, New Jersey and nursing homes. It was nice to see faces I knew growing up on the Lower East Side, they are long gone and the area is not the same in gentrification of the period that follows.
