Frank, You take excellent pictures but I have tears in my eyes and believe me, they are not tears of joy. Those pictures are such a sad sad sight. I never would have recognized any of it. Are you sure you want to show the world what has happened to our home town? The only way I could get my bearings at all was to see where Shoney’s was located and go back towards Mt. Gay. I wish someone could find some copies of how it used to look- Anyone know which of these pictures would be where the carnival grounds were located? The carnival grounds were in the heart of “Black Bottom” but I can’t tell from the pictures where they were. I know the carnival grounds were at the foot of City View Hill where I grew up, but nothing in the pictures is the same. I couldn’t even find the foot of City View Hill. I did see one nice 2 story brick home still standing at Ellis Addition (near Baisden Brothers). That house is where my Girl Scout Leader lived in the 1940s. Thank you, Frank, for this website. The old pictures and our memories are the only parts of our childhood that are still beautiful and real.
