Abstract
Norbert Wallington, a resident of Tremont since 1946, recounts his family's relocation from Pennsylvania and his diverse work history, which includes positions at Railway Express, the Federal Reserve Bank, and Ford Motor Company, as well as his volunteer efforts at St. Michael's Church. He discusses significant changes in the Tremont neighborhood over the years, particularly the effects of highway construction (I-71 and I-90) on the community, including population decline, loss of tax base, and disruption of neighborhood connections. Additionally, Wallington addresses changes in transportation, the decline of local businesses, and the evolution of social life in Tremont.
