Richmond Proper: On how far a girl may run after a man (and vice versa)

In the 1946 edition of Emily Post's Etiquette there is a section entitled "How Far May a Girl Run After a Man?" When I saw this heading, on its yellowed page with its thick, black type, I felt suddenly cheated. You mean I didn't have to go through all those years of self-doubt, disappointment, and embarrassment? You mean I could have just read etiquette books?!?!

The Fan, Richmond,1985. It was going to be a stinking hot summer day, and my skateboard sang as it flew down Floyd Avenue in an attempt to beat the heat. The oil-slicked tire-gully gave my stick wings, and I needed every bit of speed I could muster as I fled my latest crime.
