Downtown Delivery Boy By: Robert S. Moskowitz Downtown Delivery Boy is based on a real job the author had in the mid 1970s in Miami. It describes the zany adventures of a teenage suburbanite delivering packages in downtown Miami. Irving, the delivery boy, gets into many exciting situations. He is a hostage on a bus hijacking to Havana, attacked by evil elevators and dogs, is a hostage in a daytime bank robbery, pushed around by drug-pushers, mugged in a park, a hero at a Cuban anti-Soviet rally, forced to cut the red tape at City Hall, a witness to a political bombing in Little Havana and a rescuer of a would-be suicide jumper. Throughout these adventures the reader will be entertained by the witty observations of a young, innocent teenager growing up in a bygone era.
