Seahawks Pal | 3 comments Ecurps Street? As a boy in the 60s, I read the Hardy Boys books, the Nancy Drew, and the Win Hadley sports series. And there must have been one other series of books that I also read. All I remember is that the protagonist lived on Ecurps Street. Ecurps is Spruce spelled backwards. Anyone remember this series? I think it was more humorous than the others.
Thanks for any info!

Herbert lived on Tunlaw Street, which is Walnut Street spelled backwards, and since all his best friends and a few of his worst enemies lived on the same street as he did, Herbert decided he would get more business on the next street over. So Herbert led Gus over to Ecurps Street, which is Spruce Street spelled backwards, and waited for customers.

Wow, that is definitely it! Thanks so much! I'll have to find and re-read, I'm just not remembering much about it.
