Title: Stories from the Street: The Informal Economy of the Inner City as Seen by a ‘Retired Smuggler’
Description: Born in rural Saskatchewan, Timothy Fraser Hampton moved to Saskatoon with his family at a young age. Since that time, Timothy’s life has been closely connected to 20th Street and its surrounding neighbourhoods. Timothy refers to himself as a retired ‘professional smuggler.’ His former occupation provided him with an in-depth exposure, and a unique perspective on the “informal economy” of both 20th Street specifically, and of Saskatoon in general. During the interview, Timothy reflects on both his youth and on his choice of profession. He expands by discussing particular incidents that took place on 20th Street in the 1980s, involving drug dealing, prostitution (in particular, “Pimp Wars”), violence, and other criminal activity. His views on what is right or wrong, and what is acceptable and what is not, may not be shared by all. A highly reflective, well-spoken and thoughtful individual with a sharp mind and a quick tongue, Mr. Hampton nowadays focuses on his family, and on his career as a musician and writer.
