What is It Was a Pretty Good Year about?

Cameos of Philadelphia's Reed Street, in 1910 "a mixed bag of nationalities" in the process of assimilation, are loosely focused on ten-year-old Barnett Freedman and his non-observantly Jewish family. Barney's familiar activities--scrounging change from the grating with a gum-tipped stick, evading the Italian kids on Catherine Street, hanging around the stable or Kolb's bakery--are interspersed with the usual mischief on Halloween and the Fourth of July, pale encounters with a pretty female classmate, and fights with neighborhood bully Smelly Huggins.
