That bag has a name. It's a bindle. And in the 1930s, about 250,000 American teenagers actually packed one and walked out the door to ride freight trains, looking for work after the crash wiped out their families' savings. They were called boxcar boys and girls. Many were just 16 or 17. They left because there was no food at home, or because they didn't want to be another mouth their parents couldn't feed. One boy left home with the 72 cents his mother pulled from her purse, the last of her money. About 4 million Americans were on the road in those years. The cartoon image we know traces back to two artists. Charlie Chaplin's Tramp character, the little guy in baggy pants with a stick, debuted in 1914. He became a global icon. Walt Disney later said Chaplin was one of the inspirations for Mickey Mouse. Then in 1958, Norman Rockwell painted a runaway boy carrying a bindle for the Saturday Evening Post cover. That picture is the one that stuck in our heads. The actual life behind the bag was hard. People who lived it called themselves hobos, and they were strict about the word. A hobo was a worker who traveled. A tramp only worked when he had to. A bum didn't work at all. Hobos hated being mixed up with the other two. They followed the harvests. Strawberries in spring, hops in summer, apples in fall, potatoes in winter. Pay was a few dollars a day, sometimes less. Riding freight trains was illegal and could kill you. Railroad police, who they called bulls, beat them off the cars. You could slip and get crushed between cars. Or freeze to death sleeping in a boxcar in winter. A British poet named W.H. Davies, who wrote a memoir called The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp, lost his foot trying to jump onto a moving train. So they built their own world. Their camps near rail yards were called jungles. They shared a stew called Mulligan, where everyone threw in a potato, or a piece of meat, or whatever they had. They left messages for each other on water tanks: a nickname, a date, and the direction they were heading, so the next person passing through could see who had been there. They had a phrase for someone who died on the road. He caught the Westbound. In 1900, a town in Iowa called Britt, with about 2,000 people, decided to host them. Every August since, hobos and rail riders show up to crown a Hobo King and Queen, with crowns made from coffee cans. The convention is still running. There's a Hobo Memorial Cemetery in Britt for the ones who caught the Westbound. The cartoon turned it into a childhood dream. For a quarter-million American kids in the 1930s, it was just the bag you grabbed before walking out the door.

we grew up different.

Cavs fans have real standards. This ain’t the Browns whom we love on a curve cuz we know they ain’t shit. This Cavs core hasn’t met the standard we expect from a championship contender

Limewire: Your service to my generation will never be forgotten 🫡

Keri Hilson is so fiiiine

we need to get Coco Jones to sing the national anthem on Sunday so Donovan can finally lock in for once

Graduating from the same HBCU my great grandfather founded in 1912 💙💛🐶 His image etched on the stain glass of the campus chapel.

I never stopped to consider that Knoxville wasn't his real last name

I cannever delete this video 😂😂

Reminder that the Celtics have only won 2 NBA titles in 40 years and 11 of their titles came when the NBA had 9 teams in the 1960s.

LeBron James is the same age as both head coaches in this series. He's 6 months younger than JJ Redick and 2 months older than Mark Daigneault. Insane lol.

Just so we are CRYSTAL CLEAR: Donald Trump, and a LOT of white conservatives today, wishes white domestic terrorist traitor Gen. Robert E. Lee had won, meaning slavery would have continued in America. That's literally what the end result would have been. I told y'all this man is a demented fool. The GOP's war on Black America is REAL.

Kamala wanted to give first time homeowners a $25,000 credit towards the purchase of their home. Trump started a war, has no healthcare plan, caused food and fuel to skyrocket, and raped little girls. Great fucking job America.

Oh my god

Embiid got no appendix and no cartilage left in his knee and still a way better rim protector than Jokic smh

The East hasn’t been this wide open since before LeBron was in the NBA. The path couldn’t be more clear. That’s if y’all interested. I’m rolling if yall are @spidadmitchell @evanmobley @JHarden13 #LetEmKnow

The president calling the most senior black politician in Congress a thug, as Southern states rush to eliminate Black congressional districts. The Trump era is overtly racist and we need to be comfortable saying it out loud.
