Cornbread (graffiti artist)
Darryl McCray, known by his tagging name, “Cornbread,” is a graffiti artist from Philadelphia, credited with being the first modern graffiti artist. Darryl McCray was born in North Philadelphia in 1953 and raised in Brewerytown, a neighborhood of North Philadelphia. During the late 1960s, he and a group of friends started "tagging" Philadelphia, by writing their nicknames on walls across the city. The movement spread to New York and blossomed into the modern graffiti movement, which reached its peak in the U.S. in the 1980s and then spread to Europe. Since his tagging days, McCray has developed a close relationship with The Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. He is a public speaker and a youth advocate.
Childhood and Corrections Facility
Born in Brewerytown in 1953, Darryl McCray was primarily raised by his mother and grandparents. In 1965, McCray was sent to a juvenile corrections facility called the Youth Development Center (YDC). While at the YDC, McCray adopted the nickname “Cornbread.” McCray complained to the cook of the institution, Mr. Swanson, that he only baked white bread, while McCray preferred his grandmother's cornbread. McCray’s constant badgering inspired Mr. Swanson to start calling McCray “Cornbread,” a nickname that McCray adopted. The YDC was full of Philadelphia gang members who would write their names on the walls of the facility. McCray was never part of a gang, but he would write his new nickname, “Cornbread,” on the walls next to the gang members. He was the first person to tag his own name and not a gang name or symbol.

Getaway! (video game)
Getaway! is a crime-themed scrolling maze game for the Atari 8-bit family designed by Mark Reid and published by the Atari Program Exchange (APX) in 1982. The game won the 1983 $25,000 Atari Star Award for best APX submission, an award previously won by My First Alphabet and Typo Attack. Prior to Getaway!, Reid developed a skiing game, Downhill, also published by APX.
According to Reid, Atari was impressed with Getaway! and had "big plans" for the game, but the North American video game crash of 1983 occurred before this could happen.
A non-digital illustration of Getaway! was featured on the cover of the Fall 1983 APX catalog.
Gameplay
Getaway! takes place on scrolling map of a town, 35 screens in size. You leave your hideout and drive around the maze using up gasoline in the process. Pausing at a gas station refills the tank.
Also in the maze are dollar signs (which give a little money when collected), armored vans (which give a lot of money and immediately alert the police to your presence), and three loot items. To complete a level you must collect all three loot items, then the armored van, and then return to your hideout.
