For anyone who has read Scott's novel (A Room With No Windows) 621 ½ South 6th Street is the behind the scenes true tale of real incidents that would later inspire it. For those
who have not it is merely a funny story of poverty, hard work, illegal doings,
and the events that eventually lead him west. A powerful coming of age story
and the triumph of morals earned through experience. From vandalism to unemployment,
alcoholism to homelessness, Scott covers the problems of being without money
and what sorts of dilemmas that arise for a young man trying to find his way.
