The only invention in either of the neighborhoods I grew up in that I was
aware of was the man down the street who had invented the machine that
stamped "Necco" onto Necco wafers.
(He'd also blown up an abandoned brick structure with his brothers. About
a month later, the absentee owner of the land on which said brick
structure had stood wrote their father asking him to take it down, and
offering payment for him to do so.)
