They say you can never go back. My youth was spent moving to a new place every 2 to 3 years because of Dad’s job. There are pluses and minuses to that. I did come to find out that when you leave, the world quickly picks up its business without you. D’aint no going back.
How fun it was to read about your childhood days growing up in the South End. I, too, have great memories of living at the corner of 29th & Arch (1967-1970) until we moved to the West End. I remember your grandparents living behind us on Gaines street and your brothers and my brother, Leonard, bantering in the back of your grandparent’s house. A few times, I tried to insert myself/eavesdrop because my 7-8 year old self thought you all were the smartest and most polite kids I knew. I attend St. Bartholomew Church on Marshall Street when I’m not in Charlotte. Thanks for sharing the photos and memories!
