And we are seeing street venders all over selling items for alot less money then normal for the people. During this time people were doiung anything to make a penny people were singing and dancing and other street things a hit song came out called Brother, Can you spare a dime by Bing Crosby. Thousands of homeless families stayed in fields in central park. Many people were trying to move to Califoprnia to get away from this but the Depressin is all over the world. To keep children entertained they had comic strips come out like superman. The average income of the American family dropped by 40 percent from 1929 to 1932.
