> the trains at all hours along Grant Ave.,the "nine o'clock whistle".......that's some of what I remember. I will post more 'memories' again. Please expand on any of these if you wish. They were the 'good ole days' not too long ago.
A few of mine: Playing hide n' seek after dark in the old Ticey-Heilman mansion on N. Grant (Pepsi-Cola is there now). Pushing the luggage wagons around the old train station. Telling ghost stories under he street light on Queen St. and always being afraid of the "bums" that slept in McNeese brickyard. Catching crabs in the creek above Johnson Ave. near the cemetary. Waiting, it seemed like forever, for the playground attendents to arrive and unlock the swings. "I'm just a kid again..........doin' what I did again!" :-)) Later.........Buss
