Beep the horn for curb service! Had the first video juke box I ever saw. The older guys would play the Hankey Pankey song cause it has a bikini clad dancer in it.

Sliding sideways through the potholes, rocks & mud while back tires spinning , really cold beer , occasional drag race towards east or west , stashing ya beer when the police circled through , circling through with ya girl sitting up close & snug , One could have a decent nite out there for just a few bucks back then (sigh) ! 8)

Wayne, it was Streeter's. It was started by a couple named Streeter that rented rooms from the Hancock sisters. We lived on Winston Street about 1937 and I can remember sitting on the front porch with Mama in the evening to listen to th juke box. The music they played back then was a lot different. Mama love it when they played The Great Speckle Bird.

Turn on 5th street beside Fuller Gro. and it will be the 1st street on the left. It runs from 3rd st. to 5th st. The Esterlings, Wrights, Freemans, Burns and at one time McKeithans were the families that lived on it. All but one of the houses (Easterling) are still there.

we lived in the house that was later lived in by the Eaterlings, The house was owned by my Grandpa King Freeman's sister. The song Great Speckled Bird was by Roy Acuff recorded in 1936 long before Hank Williams
