Danced on the t.v. show " Five O'Clock Hop".Skated about every weekend at the Hippodrome on West end Ave. or Bordeaux Roller Rink owned and run by the Drapers. Swam at Old Hickery Lake and White City and Meridian Park.Life was great growing up in Nashville. The Salvation Army had a community center in East Nashville called the "Red Shield", where kids could go and watch ball games or enjoy basketball ,pool or attend a number of events.There was a huge field behind Caldwell Elementary School where the neighborhood kids would all gather in the summer to have a game of softball. |

The kids that had Turkey Day at home always felt priveleged they didn't have to go to some relative's house all trussed up in Sunday clothes. Flannel shirts and jeans were just fine. I grow ever more thankful for those days. |

They played for tips during the summer months and didquite well. About four or five of us Waverly Belmont area boys went up there about once a week. Generally, about 50 people listening and their man song was "Duck Butter and Salty Dog". |

| Comments: | I lived in West Meade on Rodney Drive from 1962-65. I was 11 when we moved. I remember Nashville as a great place for a kid to grow up. We lived next to an old rock quarry that had filled with water and was teeming with fish and snakes and muskrats. I went to H.G. Hill Elementary, and the city paid for a taxicab to chauffer me to school every day! Our neighbors were mystified by this. I vividly remember being in Miss Brownlees 5th grade class when the principal announced Kennedy had been shot. They immediately let us out of school early that day. The hills surrounding West Meade were great places to ride bicyles on the cow trails that ran through the hills. Your site is a great reminder of fond memories. |

Then walked up to Church Street. There in about 1944-46 time frameI saw my first street car. Yes had to have a sack of Krystals before shopping. Shopped at Harvey's, Montgomery Ward and had lunch at the Cross Keys restaurant. Before leaving had to go by the Arcade and get fresh roasted Planters Peanuts. But times have changed... |

My Father (Jackson Smith Batey, Jr.) helped build the house on Green Hills in 1936. I remember that 1951 snow and ice storm. So much electricity was down, but we had a coal furnace and stayed warm. It was my senior year at Lipscomb, and some of the students in the dorm came over and warmed themselves in our basement. My daugher and her son live there now. |

| Comments: | For those of us not yet legal, a popular spot to visit was "Frank's Friendly". This was a non-descript bar somewhere off of Charlotte fairly close in to town. Us boys would go to Frank's where there was usually some adult guy waiting to take your order, your money and bring you back quarts of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer for your party!! We never got ripped off and always got what we paid for. Fortunately, we never got caught or had any accidents!!!!!! We were young and dumb. |

| Comments: | I did remember a couple of things here. I attended Parmer Elementary School which is long gone. We had clothing fads during the late '50's into 1960-61 that included really bright yellow, red, green and blue pants for the guys and shoes that had two white stripes up the tongue. We called these "skunks". You could go down to Musgroves Drug store where there was a real soda fountain or run across Harding Road to an open air market to buy packs of LikMAid or the wax bottles with sweet liquid inside. An alternative to Fort Nightly was called "Tweensters" and my parents forced me to take tap dance at Miss Paulines School of the Dance on West End. Wow, life was pretty neat in that time (and still is). |

Many fond memories of Percy and Edwin Warner parks, "Nicks" and "Shoney drive throughs" and yes, Warner Park Drive in theater.....those were good times. |

I still miss Nashville, and often wonder about the kids I playedwith and went to school with in Donelson. I would love to hear from anyone; looking at Nashville memories and seeing the Nativity Scene and reading about Harvey's and all the old days brings tears to my eyes every time. I still miss everyone and everything; wish I could go back if it were possible. |

| Comments: | I went to Peabody Demonstration School for High School, graduating in 1946. Scouting was a big thing for many of us; our Scout Troop had high achievers, and all who stayed eventually became Eagle Scouts. At Camp Boxwell, we always won the top scoresin the various events. Soime of us were elected to the Order of the Arrow, and went to Wright Field in Dayton for a frigid jamboree.During the War, we watched the Army Air Corps R.O.T.C. march and drill in the area between the High School and Peabody College. I dreamed of becoming a Fighter Pilot and shooting down 5 enemy planes to become an ace! Watching the many types of airplanes at Berry Field, and seeing the Vultee bomber,called the "Vibrator".

My folks owned the Skateland ( by Mills Creek - Thompson lane), it was an "OUTDOORS SKATING RINK" we ran it from 1956 or 57 till 67 I think. There was a WeeTee Golf course next door, and the Dairy King which is still open 5 days a week, still serving some great meat and 3, going on close to 50 years! Then there was Ma, Binkly's on Murfreeboro Pike, it was a drive in with a gold fish pond out front, close to where Taco Bell and Mill Creek are now. And Thompson Lane had beutifull trees in the median from Murfreeboro Rd, to Nolensville Rd, why they pushed them down remains a mystery to me still. The road is basicaly no wider then it was back |

My fondest memories were of Fair Park and a man named Vernie Tidwell, who practically "ran" Fair Park. (I thought he hung the Moon!) He sometimes used to drive the train that went around the Park. The Tidwells, Vernie and his wife, Mildred were family friends of my Mother. To me, they were my grandparents, although notblood-related. I called them "Ma" and "Da". "Da" used to take me to Fair Park with him all the time. I practically grew up there. I even worked in the ticket booth one year when I was about 12. (I think I " |

Having a chocolate milkshake at Candyland or having lunch in the basement at Harveys. At Christmas time having breakfast with Santa in the Iris Room in Cain Sloans or walking through Bunnyland at Easter. I went through the white gloves and party manners class given there and remember someone threw up on me while in line to go out and walk down the aisle. I was rushed to the perfume counter.

It's a good thing that the control room was sound proofed from the studio. The engineers went berserk. I remembered the kid's name as being Willie. Do you have anything about Don's potato chips?

I've also been trying to find my first girlfriend, Jennifer Pfiffer. If she stayed in the area, I have no idea what HS she would have attended (would have graduated in '75). Anyway, WKDA was where I heard my first Beatle song! Oh & I remember 11/22/63 like it was yesterday. Who hosted the show "Noon" and what channel was it on? Rusty Gibson Fairfax,Va (outside of DC) |

I remember going to downtown Nashville toshop and how much countryside there was between Hendersonville, Madison, and Goodslettsville, all the small towns surrounding Nashville. I miss those days before malls, chain stores and interstate highways changed everything. The biggest change for me was re-visiting the little Beech School on Long Hollow Pike! (grade 1 to 8) I remember when it was so small and had a coal furnace in the basement for heat. I rmember riding the bus with Ernest, Jack and Cissie Lynn to and from sc |

These were the "good ole days" that will never be again and the children who are growing up now, unfortunately, will never be able to enjoy the wonderful times we had back then. To remember these times almost makes me cry. We just didn't realize how great things were. I feel so bad that the teenagers of today are going through all the rap and drugs and drive-by-shootings. These things are so horrible and in our day, we could never have even imagined anything worse than Elvis Presley and his new style of rock n roll (we loved it so much). Nashville was a great city to grow up in and I'm thankful it was just the way it was. I missed the |

And, when my brother &I were young, our parents took us to Harveys and Cain-Sloan every year for new church clothes as well as the annual visit to Santa Claus and photo with him.

Long live the Cumberland Indians, Joelton Blue Jays, Dupont Bulldogs, Bellevue Owls, Issac Litton Lions, Central Golden Tornadoes, Donelson Dons, Howard Rebels, West Blue Jays, East Eagles, Madison Rams, Goodlettsville Trojans, Cohn Tigers and North Yankees, if only in our memories. |

I can remember so well the tradition of the Nativity scene each year, and going shopping at the stores onChurch and Union........Castner Knott, Cain Sloan, and Harvey's when it was Christmas or back to school time. Jumping off the high diving board at Cascade Plunge....only once. :-) When a date meant dressing up and going to one of the big theaters downtown. We would never go into Nashville unless we "dressed up". Standing up to eat Krystals. Gosh, just too many memories to mention. Thanks for the nastalgic trip. |

We had so much that the kids now a days do not. We had the Sororities, Shoneys to show off your date or car, WMAK-Teen of the week contest. The Old Hickory Dam to lay out in the sun. Margo's Restaurant. The sock hops, Our biggest evil was beer and cigarettes not drugs. We didn't have gangs. Your friends stood behind you no matter what. We had our community churches that no matter what, you went to church on Sunday mornings. We got punished when we did something wrong, not charged as child abuse. But we listened to our parents because if we did something wrong they stood behind |

| Comments: | First of all, this is a wonderful site!! I do remember most of these things. We lived in the Hillsboro Village area and went to Eakin School, where I was May Queen, Cavert Jr. High School, and graduated from West High School, Class of 1954. ALL THE WAY FOR DOC! We just celebrated our 50th High school reunion. Does anyone remember Mrs. King at Family Booterie in the Village and later at the Green Hills Mall? She was my mother. I think everyone bought their shoes there. Such great memories! I have sent this site to my sister, Leah King Flowers in Ft. Worth, Texas. She was Class of 1957 at West High. Thanks again for such a beautiful site. |

| Comments: | I am so glad that pants were eventually acceptable at Hillsboro High. When I went to school we were never allowed to wear pants. We had to have our skirts at our knees too. I think that dressing well does help with discipline though. I am sure youngpeople would disagree with me. I think it is much harder to be a teenager today then it was in the 60's. Nashville is a good place to have grown up. BTW, I only have 6 Arabian Horses left. Going out of the Arabian horse business. Life is forever changing. |

| Comments: | One of my most proud moments at Hillsboro high school was when about 20 female students decided to "buck" the Mr. Fox, the principle. Heaven help us...we wore pants but cleverly under our skirts!!!! Pants were not allowed in school. Who did they think they were messing with!!! I guess we showed 'em. Soon after that pants became acceptable attire for ladies and even the sluts. |

We also went to several other dances there with many big name bands. I had seen a picture of the outside, but not the inside, so this picture brought back many memories. I graduated Howard HS in 1944, worked at Commerce Union and Third Nationsl Banks untill 1955. Married at Carroll St. Methodist Church in 1949 and moved here in 1960. Thanks for the memories. |

| Comments: | St. Bernard Academy, 1961 What a delightful collection of memories! One I can add is the crazy radio ads by Fred Peyser, owner of Melrose Camera Center on Franklin Road. He insisted on not only writing but voicing his own commercials which were sometimes so bad it was embarrasing. As a budding photographer, I had the good fortune to land an afterschool and summer job at the Camera Shop my last two years of high school. Fred was a character -- always pulling jokes on staff, and customers too -- but he gave one teenage girl the opportunity to learn photography, a skill which changed the course of my life and career forever. |

| Comments: | The restoration of Fort Negley brings to mind a tradition that once centered on Easter Sunrise Services there. An entire troop of actors in full costume would reenact the story of the crucifixion and resurrection from the New Testament using the fortifications as a stage set. As I recall the preaching that followed was usually limited out of pity for the often frozen crowd that had been standing there since the predawn darkness. Considerations of the separation of Church and State would prevent the renewal of this play, as they have stopped Harvey's nativity scene. But back then the three crosses used in the play were kept standing year round. |

One of my friends at school had tried to jump on the train..it cut off both legs and one arm. I remember walking on my lunch break to Caster Knotts, and grabbing a krystal on the way back to work.

Graduated from Glenliff High in 1976. Great web site, brings back so many fond memories. The nativiy Scene at Centennial Park is one of my favorites. Feeding the ducks there, climbing on the old locomotive. Great place. Nashville is a big city now, no more small town feel to it. Saturday nights were usually spent at the Fairgrounds watching Coo Coo Marlin and Jimmy Griggs race out of towners Bobby Allison and Red Farmer. I used to ride my bike up Thompson Lane and watch them building 100 Oaks Mall. It was a big, beautiful place then. It's still a nice mall, just almos |

I was raised in Nashville, well Flat Rock, Not quiet good enough to say Woodbine or Ranner So I was in Nashville from age 3 until age 25 when I left in 1969. Moved to Indiana by way of Conn. Never was good with directions. Doing research on WLAC Radio late night DJ’s in the 50’s and early 60’s. Contact me if you have any information. I want to a screenplay. GREAT SITE, |

| Comments: | I enjoyed this site very much. I grew up in the Madison area and graduated from Maplewood High School in 1972. I remember sneaking into the Skyway Drive-In on a double date. The rent-a-cop made us pay double the price and threatened to take usto jail if we didn't. Later, when our parents found out, they got on to us for sneaking into the drive-in, but also pressed charges against the rent-a-cop for extortion. I remember the Open-Air roller rink in Madison, loved Hillbilly Day, held hands and skated with my first crush at the Hippodrome Roller Rink, and to icees at the 7-Eleven in the summers. My friends and I spent hours at Union Hill Swimming pool in the summers, and cruised Shoney's on Dickerson Rd. in the evenings. |

The Madison Movie Theater showed double feature westerns on Saturdays for 25 cents in the 50's. And what about Flagpole Hill in Centennial Park wheresome of us "parked"? There was the famous A & W Root Beer Drive In on Gallatin Road in Madison across from the Montague Drive-In Movie. And the Bar-B-Cutie Drive-In Restaurant on Murfreesboro Road where the young ladies in short skirts and on roller skates would deliver orders to your cars. The famous Hi-Ho Drive-In Restaurant (with the best hamburgers and french fries) was another hot spot on Gallatin Road in East Nashville. |

| Comments: | I remember so much of these things that went on in Nashville and areas close by. Went to alot of these places and done alot of these things. Have a picture of the Christmas Nativity scene. Found it a few years ago on a Christmas card. Remember going downtown to the L & C tower where my dad helped build. A man fell from the tower while help building it. My dad was there. So many wonderful memories will be cherished for the way Nashville and the surrounding areas were back then. Life goeson but our memories remain in tack. Thanks |

| Comments: | This was GREAT!!!Thanks for so many wonderful memories especially Harvey's Dept. Store and The Nativity Scene in the park. That was always so special to our family because our grandmother worked for Harvey's and needless tosay the Nativity visit was a part of our Christmas tradition. I come from a time when "Going to Town" meant something very wonderful and shopping on Church Street will never be matched. |

I always enjoyed playing Madison HS in football because I knew almost all the players. Many of my childhood friends are my best friends to this day. It was a great time to grow-up in Nashville and Litton was the best. I would add to your list "Night Court" at the police department downtown on the weekends. It was free and girls enjoyed going as part of thedate. Thanks, Harvey Fischer, Litton HS - Class of 1970 |

I had three family members, my mom being one, that worked for Family Booterie for years. My aunt was the office manager. The Red Goose shoes bring back a lot of memories. My first paying job was peeling off old price stickers in the stock room to be replaced with new ones during inventory. That was a miserable job by the end of the day. I also delivered the Banner when I was in college. I miss those days. And could I say that I miss Opryland more than ever now that I've had two more children since it has closed? What are kids sup |

Bass Jr. High, Cohn High School, and David Lipscomb College? I had forgotten about Shelby Park, fishing at Percy Priest, how downtown Nashville looked when the only Theatres were downtown. That's where I first saw Bambee and the Walt Disney Movie, Song of the South. Loved those Harvey's cakes and swimming in the Harpeth River in the summer. I would hitchhike then when people weren't so weird. When I was a younger man, I planned on changing the world but found out that the world doesn't necessarily want change even if its for the good of everyone. So now |

| Comments: | My best Christmas story was I think in 1962. I was walking in the snow to meet my then boyfriend and he was going to drive and meet me half way. Well, I walked and walked which seemed forever and he never showed up. I cried so much and my tears froze to my cheek. I finally got all the way to his house and there was his car broken down. Of course we did not have cell phones then so I thought he just wasn't coming. Didn't think to turn back and go home. Remember, when it snowed in Nashville, everything shut down. Only one snowplow and the town was paralized.I miss the snow so much. My senior year it snowed so much that we missed 15 school days. There is nothing like a white Christmas in Nashville. |

The other was xmas 1960 or 61. My sister and I got the Chipmunks xmas song on 45!!i remember one year (guessing 63 or 64)my sister got stranded at a holiday party due to extreme snowfall, and my Dad had to drive over and pick her up. They got home around 1am and it was SCANDALOUS. Well, at least to me. I'd never stayed up that late before! There can't be anything prettier to me that a dark blue woodsy Nashville snow scene. |

What I would love to know is if there might be archives of the old television programs on the Nashvillestations. My sisters and I sang on the Saturday morning program "Pride of the Volunteer State" back in the fifties. I would give almost anything I have to get a video copy of that.

John Wilkin was a friend and he turned out to start the Group, "Ronnis & The Datonas" which I didn't find out about until I had left for Georgia Tech?? I even went over to his house but guess it must have been before he started them? I knew his mother was a Song Writer and had writen Battle of New Orleans and PT 109 etc. I also had a guy stop and ask me if I would like to cut his lawn and I said OK. He lived about 2 milesfrom where I lived at 1924 Battlefield Dr = which is NO MORE! It turned out he was John D Loudermilk the song writer and singer who was rather well known.

| Comments: | Pavlov was surely on to something, and not just with dogs. I listened to rock AM stations in Nashville in the 1950's and 1960's; today I tune in to "oldie" stations. But to me one anthem song never sounded right on radio today. I later realized "back in the day" a popular station always ended a segment with this song, followed by a loud "ding dong" and the station call sign. I am still subconciously waiting for this silly "ding dong" when the song winds down. So I am just getting senile, eh? Bet I can make others of my age wince. Think TV, meat commercial and three cartoon pigs. Then repeat (endlessly) "Sing it over and over and over again, Frosty Morn". |

| Comments: | Well, it's raining here in southern California regardless of the dumb song, and I'm sitting here at 9:50 am with a hot cuppa joe, reminiscing. Reminds me of beautiful Nashville in the early 60s, when rainy weekends forced us kids inside. My Dad and i would watch old Tarzan movies on TV, with an old PETE SMITH SPECIALTY thrown in if the movie ran short. The incredible autumn colored leaves and landscape were picturesque, and we had NO IDEA how lucky we were-safe, secure, warm and fuzzy, with Halloween and Thanksgiving coming up, and our elementary school (Parmer) art projects reflecting the coming holidays. If it keeps rainging, think I'll throw an old Tarzan movie on the VCR... |

| Comments: | Does anyone remember the surprise ice storm we had in Nashville on Oct. 17, I think around '67? A bunch of us went to the Friday Night Opry and it and the temp took a nosedive while we were in there and it took us hours to get back home.Nothing like that had been forecast. Ice was everywhere. |

| Comments: | Born and raised in Nashville off and on until I was in my 20's. Lived in Germany, Washington DC and many more places. Recently found this site. I've relived my youth. Remembering east Nashville, the big Freeze of '51, my mom on herknees,on the porch, crawling to get coal for the stove because it was so slick. Litton HS, not even there any more. Jumping off the top level at Cascade plunge,the Hippodrome, going to see the Vols at Sulphur Dell with my Granddad. So many more memories. I remember when the L&C building and the Capitol was the sky line of Nashville. I love this site. Thank you |

| Comments: | To reply to a snide comment, the Cumberland River was NOT a sewer in the good old days. We did, however, avoid city "outflows" by boating, etc. between Shelby Park and the old Corps of Engineers "Lock two" at the tip of "Pennington Bend"...upstream from most industry and sewage processing. "Lock two" and its associated flow over dam was blown up after Old Hickory Dam was completed but the site is now a Metro Park, complete with boat ramp. Flooding was always a problem on the river's lower bank and an oldster observed that a commercial recreational venture like "Woodale Beach" often had its facilities rearranged or removed by major floods. |

It was a safe place then. A place where a little kid couldtrick or treat without the grownups, and I thought nothing of getting on a city bus and riding uptown to visit the museum, the little nook that sold hotdogs and fresh orange juice (can't remember the name). hanging around the Arcade,where my great uncle sold newspapers for 20 odd years. Maybe someone remembers him, Jesse, hard of hearing and always in his tweeds. I spent my summers at Fairpark, all day, everyday, and was like the park mascot! I didn't need money |

We have BOB'S Big Boy, but whereas 15 years ago we had six restaurants in Riverside, today there is one in Diamond Bar (30 miles west) and Calimesa (30 miles east, via San Bernardino). Our area code has changed twice in my lifetime (it was 714 when I was younger, it changed to 909 about 12 years ago, and it recently changed to 951--we can make local calls to two other area codes!) Sambo's original coffee shop is in Santa Barbara (150 miles west up the coast) but you can't eat supper there because they close |

| Comments: | As we've all read here, Nville was something of a paradise in the 50s/60s. Or do we just REMEMBER it that way? If we were all mostly kids at the time, we wouldn't have had the same worries we have today (money, health, political,etc.). We felt better, physically and emotionally, and had our families for support. I moved from Texas to Los Angeles in '86, and seriously considered choosing Nville instead of L.A., but knew it would only ruin my beautiful childhood memories. Now Nville seems to be an overgrown, cluttered parody of itself. Just my thoughts. |

I remember always spending labor day at Old Hickory Lake. School never started until after labor day in the good old days. I remember trying to ski on the lake and riding in a speed boat with a good friend in the 60's. Oh, the good old days. I had such bad allergies back then that labor day would have been great if my eyes weren't swollen shut. We need all the good thoughts from everyone that Florida will survive this devastating hurricane. The second one to hit within 3 weeks. This has never happened before. Scary!!! Have a great holiday Nashville!!!! |

We were lucky it missed us but Winter Park was hit hard. Does anyoneremember how bad it snowed in 1963 in Nashville? We missed 15 school days because Nashville only had one snow plow. I never rememeber even a tornado hitting there. I just remember that the weather was always pretty nice. Still love Florida because I haven't worn a coat in years. |

During the Xmas season there was a real live Santa Claus downstairs on the basement level.I asked him (okay, probably bugged him) if I could be his 'elf' and hand out the lollipops after the kids' 'lap-time'. He agreed, and i was the proudest kid in the world. His 'throne/big chair' was set upright next to the sporting goods department (probably all of 2 aisles)and there was a pool table set up. when things were slow, he'd show me how to shoot pool! Honest! DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE STORE?? I |

| Comments: | ...(rest of the entry below because I hit the text limit!)...TV dude, and (most improbably) an opera singer, and it's part of a 'blog listing of Atlanta weblogs, so I write Atlanta-centric stuff...but this site hasbeen a wonderful find and I've linked it from my own for friends and family who will enjoy it as much as I have. Even though much written about here is in the past it makes me long for home, but home as it was. |

| Comments: | I was born in Baptist Hospital in 1967...my father Bobby Huff worked for a long time for the old Airport Authority in addition to being stationed w/ the Air Guard at Berry Field-he drew a postcard that was used for years by people in the Airport Authority Admin to send out as courtesy notes, etc...I grew up in Nashville, went to Lakeview Elementary in Antioch, then Cameron after it became a middle school-the first 5th grade class there! I graduated from McGavock HS in 1986. I am just old enough that the memories here are palpable to me. If I didn't experience some things myself then I heard about them often in vivid detail-my father's a wonderful storyteller. I write a weblog about my daily life as a Dad, a behind-the-scenes |

Everybody have a great time looking at this site that Chip has created and remember Nashville as a fabulous place to live. I remember the parks, Old Hickory Lake, downtown and riding the bus. I worked at the Life and Casualty Building which was an adventure to say the least for a young girl just out of school. I also worked at Harveys which had those greatcarousel horses. Oh so many memories, too many to list. |

| Comments: | I remember those wonderful weekends spent on Old Hickory Lake. I was there before the lake was completed. A friend built a house on the lake and we spent 4th of July there and it was wonderful.Infact between my 8th grade at Stokes and the 10th gradeat Hillsboro High I was there every single weekend. It was so, so great!! Tried to ski but had two left feet and could not master it. Just wanted to include the memory of that great lake in your guestbook. Hope everyone has a wonderful July 4th. Sure wish I was on that lake this 4th. Oh, How Sweet It Was!!!!I bet some Nashvllians will be on Old Hickory this weekend. |

I attended Hillsboro High School, but left in the middle of my Junior year when the family moved to Birmingham. I have great memories of theParthenon and the Christmas presentation there, and feeding the ducks popcorn. I remember going square-dancing at the old National Guard Armory in Nashville, where my parents took lessons. My brother Steve turned me on to this website, and we are enjoying all the memories it brings back. Thanks for the Memory. Linda Rosen |

Also, any memmories of Dr. Courtney, the last campout of each summer at Oak Hill Day Camp and the celebrated "scary story".

| Comments: | My growing up years were centered around horses--toy, pictures, real! I remember going to Castnor's around 1945. How badly I wanted a tin horse on which you could really ride and make it walk. It cost $49 and I knew better than to even ask. I remeber Riverwood Riding Academy and Mr Evans in the 50"s. I learned to ride, bought "Lady" from him. She was a bald faced roan walking horse--the favorite of many renters. I remember riding in the parades and going on a foxhunt--riding to wooded land off Dickerson Rd in freezing weather, where we listened to the dogs tree a fox. I remember riding in several Hillbilly Day parades in Madison. Later I was in the Pony Club and showed my horses, but looking back, the free |

I love Nashville and I mourn so many of the attractions and landmarks that I just readabout. Even if I was too young to participate, I remember hearing my older sisters talk about so many of the places and activities. They would go to Teen Town and also helped out at a Catholic charity called "The Little Sisters of the Poor." I happened on your website when I got to remembering the old Paris After Dark ride at Fair Park and wondered what would happen if I put those words in the search engine. I'm glad I did.

She was popular during WW2 way before TV reached Nashville. When i was 8, around '63, my parents were meeting someone's plane at the airport and Pat Boone walked by me. What was funny was he had on dark shades, so as not to draw attention to himself, but was wearing an ice cream white suit and white bucks!!Wasn't overly pleasant when i asked for his autograph! Bought a Beatles 45 from Green Hills Walgreens for a friend's bday party. When we got there and played it, it was some black group doing a Beatles cover version! I was so emba |

One day the Everly Bros walked in (apparently lived in the vicinity) and my brother told me they looked 'filthy'. Now, greasy pompadours I can understand, but filthy? At the time they had hit records out the wazoo! I also remember ELM HILL BILL visiting the store and the noisy air conditoner in the corner where the kids could sit and read comics. Pulling the gooses' neck for prizes at Family Booterie. Singer Janie Fricke bought our Sunnybrook Drive house. Little Miss Sunbeam visited Parmer elem., too. |

I was going to say Minnie Pearl attended our Sunday morning church, alweays dressed VERY elegantly, so as not to confuse her (Sarah Cannon) with her hillbilly character, but was always very nice to everyone.I still try to get back to Nashville every few years to bask in the ever-shrinking glow of childhood. Fortunately much of residential Belle Meade is the same. What sweet, sweet people, and a great place to grow up! |

My mom told me I got a big laugh from the cameramen when I answered, "Shock Theater".I was probably all of five. Am a bit sad nothing was said about my elementary school, WALTER O.

I just can't remember, but I remember thinking she was so cute. I also remember sitting outside in the summer and watching for the satellites to go across the sky. |

| Comments: | No, the "Red Ace" gas stations did not have as a logo the hulks of Soviet-era MiG fighter aircraft perched on poles...but some of us thought of that. As I recall their logo was a big red "X" with white or black letters. No market for a "Red Ace" station, just a shack in most cases with reprocessed oil (some in glass bottles with metal spouts) and a cash register. Thanks to Melissa for recalling the oil company promo items they hoped you would stick on your car; the Gulf horseshoes, and the Esso "tiger tail" you attached to the gas filler cap to show you had a "tiger in your tank". The latter were quite popular. |

| Comments: | Gas prices today makes you nostalgic for the days the gas stations gave awards (plastic cup holders, drinking glasses, etc.) for the purchase of a certain number of gallons of gas. Recalling the price wars between gas stations can bring atear to the eye for more than one reason. One of the longest price wars I recall in Nashville was between the discount "Red Ace" chain (since merged into Delta/Maapco/Williams)and the super low grade "Gulftane" mix of the Gulf Oil stations (now BP). Remember the dark rumors of water in the cheap gas, and the impurities that would clog your fuel filter and bring your vehicle to a unexpected stop? |

I grew up in the 1960s and 70s around Woodbine and Glencliff, and there's a lot here that were points of reference for memories from those places and times. When I go back down there for various things, the place really is missing...something...and this site really points out what IS missing. The town used to have character; now it's really Just Another Big Southern City, with only a few remnants of the neat stuff here and there. The only gripe I have with the site is...is 100 memories enough? There seems to be SO much more that could and should be here... |

The horse business has been quite depressed lately and in good times these horses wouldsell for a starting price of $10,000. I am now offering some of them as low as $1000. Please feel free to email me for further information. I wish everyone in Nashville happiness. I sure do miss home at this time of the year. I love thinking about my old friends even though I haven't seen many of them in years. Part of my heart will always remain in Nashville. |

| Comments: | Nashville friends, I am in a must sell situation with some of my Arabian Horses. I will take any reasonable offer. Please email me or phone and leave a message: 352-357-0404. I love all of them but need to reduce our herd.They are Bask line Arabian horses. In case you have never heard of that line it is the best lineage available in the Arabian Horse World.They are great for pleasure, show, and breeding. Thanks so much, Linda |

Live, laugh, and love. Oh Yes, Be Happy! Remember all the good times and forget the bad. They will only bring you down. I have 7 beautiful grandchildren now and they make the world a better place.

It brought back a flood of memories about things I haven't thought of or heard mentioned in decades. It actually would take my mind time to register and remember. The last time I saw a movie downtown was 26 years ago when I went to the Lowe's and watched James Earl Jones in the Great White Hope. I attended Central High School back in the 1960's. A poor student body from a poor part of town. I still remember the frame homes, outhouses and the smell of coal smoke that filled the air on every cold winter's day. Retired now from the Metro Nashville Police Department, and teaching full time at a local college. Thanks for |

I am reducing my herd because it is getting too much for my husband and I to take care of. Make me an offer!!!!! I know Nashville is getting beautiful now that spring is here with all the gorgeous flowers blooming. I sure do miss Nashville at times. You can call too at: 352-357-0404 and leave a message and Iwill get back with you, promise! |

| Comments: | The internet is a great thing that we did not have in Nashville when some of us were growing up. It is so good to find sites like this one to relive our youth but be careful looking for that first love, it can mess up your life. It is hard to go home again, if you know what I mean. I would love to go home to Nashville again to visit. I haven't been there in years and I love Warner Parks in the Spring. We don't have parks like that close to me in Florida, just the beach. We do havebeautiful weather here though. Take a look at my site now and then. I will be adding more designers soon. |

Do you remember Franke (Clarke) Jolle from WMAK radio? Frank is still around. He owns an independant movie making company out in Hollywood. Nashville holds so many great memories for me. My first love was Brenda Demonbreum. We were known over the radio request line as David Bo and Brenda Dee. Where are you Brenda?? My brother still lives there and drives a limo. He goes by the name of Limo Larry. I left Nashville in 1965 but will always treasure my memories of Nashville and my growing up teen years that I lived there. Thank |

This site has been so good for us old Nashville Alums. Thank you again and again Chip for this site you have spent so much of your time on. I remember being rushed Delta Gamma Beta when I was a freshman at Hillsboro. They picked us up in a convertible and it was so special. Sororities in those days were just like College Sororities.I guess they still are. My sister was president of Delta our senior year. They treated us so special rush week. What memories. Hello to all Deltas out there. Hello to all Hillsboro grads too. |

I deeply miss my old house that my Grandfather built.It's the stone house up on the hill in the woods on Davidson Drive,in West meade. Famous in the 70's 80's and 90's for the barn parties.

My brothers and I also made tv appearances on the "Popeye Show" and "Granpa Moses with Happy A. Clown, the 3 Stooges Show." What fun! We lived off of Woodmont Blvd on Park Terrace, behind the "Battle of Nashville" monument and would hunt in that area for old Civil War relics. My old neighborhood on Park Terracewas split, when the I-440 was built. Anyone of my old neighborhood friends still around? The years would be from 1952-1969. My parents were John W. and Margaret Wilson. |

Hank Williams, Jr. was in my 7th grade music class. In High School I attended David Lipscomb, graduating in 1967.

| Comments: | (whoops) got cut off...watched from the railings. North on the Cumberland River's Pennington Bend from the old Inglewood ferry landing, just South of the present Briley Parkway bridge, there appeared a commercial recreation center called "Woodale Beach". There was at one time or another in the 1930's boat mooring facilities, swimming platforms just off the river bank, and a clubhouse with facilities for changing into bathing suits. Boat owners often just calledit "Woodale". By the 1960's the water recreation moved to Old Hickory Lake and the clubhouse expanded into a series of resturants/nightclubs, the last of which, "The Sea Witch" was destroyed by fire in the 1970's. |

| Comments: | A gray painted paddlewheel ferry vessel called the "Judge Hickman" served both the McGavock Pike crossing between Donelson and Inglewood (until the North Briley Parkway bridge opened) and then at Cleece's crossing off Charlotte Pike (until the West Briley Parkway bridge opened). There was a list of rules for the "voyage" posted below the wheelhouse and crewmen to guide the ever bigger autos to consequently ever tighter parking slots on the two parking decks. At times they could not fit the promised 8 cars aboard, but a line of autos were almost always waiting on both river banks for the next daylight "voyage". The rules required auto engine shutdown so some left their vehicles and watch |

| Comments: | I remember going to the Donelson Theatre in the 60's and going to the 10 cent matinee on Wednesday. We also had a Wilson Quick and Garrett Drug Store. Sanderson's 5 & 10 store is where we would buy all the new version of "Jeapardy" Game Show. We also had a Cooper & Martin Grogery Store. The big event in Donelson was when the Donelson Plaza came and we really had stores to shop at. |

| Comments: | Sure do miss visiting Nashville. Green Hills shopping center was a great place to shop in the 60's. It was right across the street from Hillsboro High School. The students got a little bad and the stores stopped allowing the students there at certain times. I use to work in the bookstore and made the deposits at the bank and I use to go over almost everyday and sometimes I just happened to go to Cain Sloans on the way back. I am offering my Arabian horses for any reasonable price. Thehorse business is getting a little hard on my husband and I. Please take a look and I will sell you a gorgeous horse at an unbelieveable price. |

Although I have traveled the world many times over I can never forget Nashville. As I read through the memories I was able to relive many of the experiences. If any of you out there were at East Jr. in the early 60's, or Hume Fogg between 65 - 68, or ever frequented the Pie Wagon Restaurant, I would love to hear from you. |

| Comments: | You DO get E-mail when posting to this site. W.B. points out the old Sparkman/Shelby Street bridge had an exit from the westbound lanes to an elevated parking lot of the adjacent Nashville Bridge Company building near the top of the bridge's old approach structure. As I recall the old Jefferson Street bridge was a unremarkable clone of the Shelby Street bridge but the old Woodland Street bridge was strange, two narrow steel truss tunnels set atop stone piers that were first constructed forthe Civil War era suspension bridge. As I recall you could look down and see the river between the independent truss tunnels when you were not atop a pier, but that memory is fuzzy. Any corroboration? |

| Comments: | "Older than dirt"....well, I am not that old, but I do remember when the two large fountains in front of the 1930's Courthouse building splashed away 24/7 in season and were illuminated at night with multicolor spotlights. People whowere downtown at night would stroll over to watch. I have asked Metro by E-mail if the fountains will be restored as part of the "Public Square" project but they have not replied. Attempts to run the fountains for any length of time in recent years resulted in alarmingly large pools of leaking water spreading across the plaza. BTW, "older than dirt" is remembering when the Shelby Street bridge was called the Sparkman Street bridge. |

| Comments: | Altho I only moved to the Nashville area in the 1980s, have been visiting here (Belle Meade mostly) since the late 1940s. I grew up in Huntsville, AL. About 1950, we got "coaxial cable", so I saw a lot of Nashville TV. Was especially interested in the info about Nick Gulas, wrestling promoter. I didn't know Nick, but his brother Gus was a good friend of mine in Huntsville. When Holy Cross/Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church was dedicated, Nick was an honored guest. I got to see him up close; and yes, I think he really did comb his hair with buttered toast!//I'm right across the street from Belle Meade Theater now. What a bummer they want to tear it down... |

| Comments: | Yes, I have pictures of signs with the spelling Anthony's Pure Milk. It is only logical that the Anthony Pure Milk company would deliver Anthony's Pure Milk, eh? Probably both names were trademarked and I do not know but suspect that the present Purity Dairies (founded 1925) is successor by merger to Anthony's, since they have a large local plant. In times past, a product was either highest grade fancy or absolutely pure (never plain!). |

| Comments: | Ordinary things have changed over the years; the compact nature of past cities gave way to suburban sprawl, and the ever increasing time and distances required for home delivery made the milkman's morning routes unprofitable. In Nashville one of the largest home delivery systems was run by the Anthony Pure Milk company (Health permit No. 10). On the appointed morning a large and quite thick clear glass bottle with a cardboard stopper would appear on your front porch, and the empties you set out would disappear, to be sterilized at the plant and be reused again and again. Anthony's also delivered much smaller glass bottles in racks to cafeterias and school lunchrooms. |

| Comments: | A picture of a murky winter sky triggered memories of the coal-heated Nashville of more than fifty years ago. My parents had a large coal furnace in their basement with ducting to all parts of the house. A chute fed fine-ground coal from a deliverytruck through a upper basement window to a small interior bin below. At the front of this open box was a smaller metal structure with a large screw on the bottom. The thermostat would activate the screw to feed coal to the furnace. All you had to dowas make sure that coal was pushed forward over the screw, empty the ashes, and flick off the tiny black specks that appeared on your white clothing. especially downtown. |

| Comments: | I remember Bunny Land and Breakfast with the Easter Bunny well. Recently found several picture of me and my sister from Bunnyland days at the downtown Cain Slaon. They would set up Bunny Land in the toy department back near the Iris Room, sort of a primitive walk through version of It;s a Small WOrld with an rabbit theme. Right after the moon shot, they had a thing with rabbits of the moon called Atra Bunnies and a cave to call through made out of foam called marshmallow mountain. Did not take near as much to entertain me ten as it does my kids no, of course. You could register for prizes adn they showed old cartoons at the end of the "trail." |

Loved that place. Also the Pub located across the street from where Iworked at the time, the Belle Meade branch of First American Bank. All the group I hung with would show up just about every night. Occasionally Bob King would kick us out but we were always allowed back. Some of most fun times were snicking in via aback entrance to the Belle Meade Country Club to attend a deb stomp I was not invited to. I always made a point to dance with the honored deb, ha. ha. Since I owned a tux it was a no money risk. Never failed thou. |

| Comments: | If I remember correctly, I think Cain-Sloan downtown Church Street had a floor (I think where the home wares were) that you went into a soundproof little cubicle and could "try out" records to see if you liked them before buying. Does anyone else remember this? It was in the '50's. Wow, what a wonderful site. Does anyone have any pictures of the lobby of the Sam Davis Holtel. My grandmother took me many times as a little girl and I can't remember if Sam Davis or Hermitage. You went in and then went up steps to the lobby. I think the elevators were on the opposite side of the lobby front desk (on the right) but not positive. Please help. My email address is: popganna@bellsouth.net |

| Comments: | My most important memory was being mascot (albeit manager due to Harold Lovell's illness) of the West High 1946 state basketball championship team which included (Adm) Billy Lawrence, Billy Joe Adcock, Bob Dudley Smith, Harry Moneypenny and others. We all stayed overnight in a farm house near Murfreesboro before the finals and it was a real big deal for me as a seventh grader. Even though I was encouraged to keep quiet I still do not know who broke the windowin our upstairs quarters. |

I would love to send them a card and thank them for sharing Max with us children of the 60's. My mother used to take me to Nashville every Thursday, and if she was really busy shopping, Max was always more than happy to let me stay with him. He is a very special part of my memories, and I would love to tell his family "Thanks " |

I look at Nashville when I visit the city today and wonder wherethe good old days went. Nashville is now just another big city. However,I live in Roanoke County (Salem and Roanoke) Va. and this area is a throwback to the way Nashville was in the 1960s and 1907s. |

Some of my many fond memories are of Fair Park, Opryland (curse you, Gaylord!), school field trips to Children's Theater, the Shoney's at Harding Place/Nolensville Rd with the Sonic-style ordering area, attending grade school at Cole Annex, aka the old Turner School, being able to properly pronounce "Demetria Kalodimos", honking car horns in the Thompson Lane tunnel, Snow Bird (how could I forget?!), the "Tennessee Trash" commercials, 100 Oaks and Harding Mall (which had the Santa Claus from the Bozo show!) and much more. |

It was so much fun to read through all the information you've provided and be able to say "I remember that!" |

| Comments: | Thanks for all the memories. I attended Hume-Fogg Tech.& Vol. High School on Broad St in Nashville. We had a football team but had no football field. So, we relied on the use of other fields from other schools. A walk home from school to East Nashville was quite safe then as well as saving on bus fair. Students had to ride to school on the city bus transite then. Five O'Clock Hop was a hoot and especially when we managed to get concert tickets to see the Dick Clark Show.I married a Fort Cambell Soldier and later moved to Virginia, celebrating forty years of marriage. Nashville was a special place for all those G.I.'s to visit and write back home to tell family of their sights. |

| Comments: | I came to Nashville in 1965 when my father became a professor at Vanderbilt. We first stayed at the old Allen Hotel on West End. We then had our first house on Lauderdale lane off of West End. Next we moved to Green Hills. We lived on Wallace Lane. I remember shopping in Green Hills and eating at the Cross Keys restaurant. We also used to shop at the original Krogers, Walgreens, and Castner Knotts. We bought our books at Zibarts in the old Teachers Building. My first job was at the Pier One in Green Hills before it burned. I remember the night that Marsha Trimble disappeared. My mother, brother, and I heard noises outside of our house and did not know what was going on until, I guess, the next day. It was a strange time. |

| Comments: | I have a large quantity of 16 mm. television news film, local and national, from Channel 5, covering the 50's, 60's and 70's. But it's not cataloged; looking for someone to help do that. Some of the footage is very interesting, like Jayne Mansfield getting off an airplane and an interview with Liberace. Sorry, but I threw away the Woods and Waters stuff. I attended Peabody Dem School (1963-64) and graduated from Belmont College, 1969; VU Law School, 1972. |

| Comments: | When I was 16 years old I went with a friend to ride one of Gilford Dudley's wonderful Thoroughbreds. I did not know how to ride and that horse really took me for a ride. He set in a creek and threw me off of him, over his head I went. I know it had to be 50 feet. When I went home my mother was just so excited that I rode a horse owned by Gilford Dudley that she did not notice my condition. |

I remember going to the movies in Newport News, Va. when for a quarter you could see a double feature, cartoons, a bag of popcorn or (3) candy bars. The bus ride downtown cost a nickel and it seemed like you would never get there, because the bus stopped at every other corner to let people off or on. They were great times. |

I look back on those times as very memorible. I can remember the Father Ryan Dances where the Lemonade Charade played. Also the teen dances in Green Hills at the different churches. Also I think I was the one of the first people to join the Hullabaloo Club out off of Dickerson Rd. in the 60's rocking place is all i can say. Hope maybe someone will read this that is from my past. |

| Comments: | Once again I enjoyed the memories. I went to Rosebank Elementary School, Stratford for junior high then on to Goodlettsville where I graduated in 1968. I am now a pastor and president of a private school. Just last week two of our younger students interviewed me for the yearbook asking about my best memory from elementary school. Immediately I thought about the carnivals we had at Rosebank and the country store which I suppose was the first stab at a yard sale. I bought my mom a cameo with rinestones for 25 cents. My wife still has that rinestone cameo bought with half my carnival money almost forty five years ago. Thanks for the memories Chip! |

It was such a pleasure to grow up in Nashville during the 60's. I remember Warner Park and the great picnics there and graduation day in 1963 from Hillsboro High, Harveys Department store and his wonderful carousel horses, the parthenon at Christmas, etc, etc,etc. My thoughts go out to everyone who lost a loved one on Sept ll, 2001. Friends are so important to all of us and I would like to say hello to all of my old friends from Nashville. Life is wonderful, difficult at times but still wonderful. Happiness to all! |

| Comments: | More Memories from Hillsboro High School – 1954-1958. Every weekend had two nights, one for dating and one for raising Hell. Transportation – Cars had become an option. The horsepower race was on and the most important specification was “how fast will it go?”. They were an option when we weren’t grounded for the Hell raising or the wrecking. When grounded, our options were walking, hitchhiking, or riding the school bus. Shooting pool at the 20th Century Recreation over the Sweet Shop at21st and Capers or at Melrose. I must have done things my parents would approve of but, on that subject, my memory fails me. |

| Comments: | Memories from Hillsboro High School – 1954-1958 Checking out the brand new building before it opened. The old building burned on Oct. 31, 1952. The Tennessee state basketball tournament final game in 1956 at Vanderbilt’s Memorial Stadium between Hillsboro and Linden (now Perry County) when every light in the stadium went out for about ½ hour. I wish I could remember the outcome of the game. Help me out here people. The Chemistry class field trip to the Dupont Rayon plant and our quick exit. |

| Comments: | More Memories from Grade School – 1946-1950. Riding a bus downtown to see a movie at the Paramount, Lowes, Princess, 5th Avenue, Nicklebocker, or the Rex (or, later, the Tennessean). Finding stuff at the fun shops to torment the girls with. Enjoying several Krystal hamburgers. Saving enough money to ride the bus home. (Can you imagine sending a 12 year old boy to town alone today?) Swimming at Centennial Park, Cascade Plunge, Rawlings, or Willow Plunge. YMCA Camp Widjiwagen at Montgomery Bell State Park. Transportation – bicycles to Whizzers to Cushmans. A few had small Harleys or Mustangs. |

| Comments: | This may not be the place to talk about my new 0nline Business but do any of you remember the crystal necklaces we use to wear to the prom in the 60's. At this new site you can find designer jewelry like the beautiful jewelry that we use to get in the 60's and the site is completely secure for ordering. When you order online it is good to know who you are dealing with and I hope some of you remember me from the class of '63 at Hillsboro High School. 40 years have gone by but the memories are still strong, sometimes it feels like yesterday. Oh sweet memories of our youth this site has given us. I still remember my first job at Harveys Dept. Store. I have been selling in some form ever since. I love sales!! |

It had not been too long ago when I was commenting that we needed to cut the articles out of the Tennessean in the History of Nashville column to leave for our children and grandchildren. I remember a lot of these events, especially the Nativity scene at the Parthenon. That was a Christmas tradition to go to the Park and see the Nativity. I even have a print over my mantle of the scene at the Park. Thank you so much for the memories. Emily |

This same friend I had lost touch with for about thirty years until a couple of months ago. Talk about memories! Does anyone remember Agners Drug Store across the street from what was Hume-Fogg Tech. and Vocational School? How about wrestling on Saturday mornings at Channel 2 Studio on Murfreesboro Rd? Have you heard that the Harley Holt Furniture Store is closing after 99 years in business? Thanks and everyone keep the memories rolling in! Those were the days! |

| Comments: | Thanks for the memories, anyone remember the old woodland street theater? The hippodrome ws where you could find me on a friday or saturday night. In the fifties you could rent skates (clamp ons to your shoes) for 10 cents, then you got your dime back when you turned the skates in. Wasn't there a Princess theater? In the summer leaving your front door open and sleeping on a pallet in front of the screen door. Yes times were so much better then. Too bad us parents let things change through the years. Any other east nashville punks out there? |

| Comments: | Old hound dog that I am, wanted to get down and wallow in all these glorious Nashville memories. The site and comments are all wonderful. Makes me wanna stay around a little bit longer. Kinda like starting out in heaven. Born on North First Street. Started old Schwab School in 1934. Miss Kane was teacher and Mr. Binkley was principal. Only got one spanking before we moved in 1937. Raised in Ridgetop with some of the greatest on earth. O alte Burschenherrlichkeit! Wohin bist du entschwunden? Nie kehrst du wieder gold'ne Zeit So froh und ungebunden! |

| Comments: | Oh wonderful Nashville!! Does anyone out there remember senior day at Hillsboro in 1963. It was the best day, with a boxed picnic lunch, games, and just lots of fun. We also had a day on old Hickory Lake and a storm came up and our boats nearly overturned. What a day that was!! Our 40th reunion will be this Saturday. Oh, how I wish I could be there. Have a great reunion! |

| Comments: | Great Site....lots of memories here... For me, what is sad about Nashville is the way they have closed down the good schools. I started school at Ross for a year, then Union Hill Elementary for 5 years, then Goodlettsville for one year and then I finished up at Litton High School and was in the last graduating class in 1971. Over the years I keep on hearing the school system talking about how they need the parents and community to support their schools, well I can tell you Isaac Litton hadone of the best support systems any school could have. The community and parents really supported the athletic, band and scholastic programs. And now they closed Union Hill Elementary, which had a great reputation... One great memory I have is |

Restaurant first opeded in 1922 by the Coombs Brothers who pulled it down Broadway with an old Model -T.

| Comments: | I really enjoyed strolling down memory lane.Two things stand out that you missed.One was the Skyline Drive-In at the corner of Donelson Pike and Murfreesboro Road. They had the best malts and milkshakes you could imagine.I dated on Tuesday and Saturday nights.A friend of mine worked there and by the time I got married, I had a complete set of 8 milkshake glasses and malt glasses. The other memory is of the Tennessee Central Railroad.The round house was located off Hermitage Avenue and most of the railroaders lived in that area. My grandfather, Thomas R. Gwyn |
