The whole neighborhood sees Da Mayor as an old drunk. Early on in the film Da Mayor was getting harassed by some kids. They were going on about how

I can still remember the first time I went downhill skiing. It was a cold and dry November day. It hadn’t been snowing much at the time‚ so most of the snow on the hills was that slick‚ jet blown‚ artificial-ice/pseudo-snow. Not exactly what a first timer likes to start on.My friend Michael had been trying to talk me into going on a skiingtrip with him and the local Boy Scout troop for some time.
