Short Stories from a 1950s childhood

I signed up for the short story writing class at Lane Community College. My goal is to write a short story each week and workshop it with my classmates. I've come up with a theme for the pieces set in the 1950's when I grew up in a working class, poor, inner city neighborhood. I experienced the changing nature of my childhood neighborhood - white flight. I was born in 1946, lived in the neighborhood until I was twelve. Over those years whites moved out as African Americans moved in. My family moved when the house we rented was sold by the heirs of the original owner. Reflecting on the changes in my small neighborhood over twelve years should provide insight and understanding about that era.
