12. I could add that most people finished their beer about the time they got in front of our house on Spring Street and we would have a front yard full of cans from the litterbugs throwing them out the window.

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.

Can anyone remember what the name of the Hub Grill was before it was The Hub Grill?

Driving to the "High Spot" to get a beer when Frog wouldn't sell you one...then driving back to the Grill!

Sitting on Coke crates!

Betty, what was the name before it was the Hub? If I ever heard it I have forgotten.

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) !

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.

Hank Williams, the man that made men cry!!

Where was (is) Winston Street?

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.

Home turf, eh Wayne?
Thanks for info.

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

Never knew that ya'll lived where the Easterlins liver. I do remember ya'll living on the corner ofd 3rd and Durham before moving to the house where the grapevines were.
