Tales of Block E
three short stories (2017)
A man living in a flophouse tries to impress his long-estranged blind father by embellishing on what the old man can’t see. Two employees of a porn theater pick the wrong day to get stoned. A fragile young woman and follower of a street preacher witnesses a tragedy, setting her on a mission that may be beyond her abilities. It’s 1979 on Block E, a woe-begone Times Square-type district filled with characters of all stripes—hookers and the homeless, addicts and drug dealers. But the streets also belong to the hopeful—the many people wanting so much more. These are the Tales of Block E, three stories of people in a place and a time long gone but not forgotten.
READ MORE about the very real location that serves as the setting for Tales of Block E.
In 1978 (one year before Tales of Block E takes place) WCCO TV made a 1/2 hour special about the block. TAKE A LOOK
