The thing I liked best was that you could go up to the 15th floor (top) elevator landing in the C-D bldg. and on a clear day you could see the Blue Ridge mountains (and some very pretty sunsets).<br /><br />I also used to dig going to the High's dairy store on the ground floor for the Butter Brickle ice cream, both late and lamented.Dr. F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03113302161417376084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-19902092220741955332009-08-11T16:36:36.573-04:002009-08-11T16:36:36.573-04:00Yes, there needs to be a law about maintaining pub...Yes, there needs to be a law about maintaining public fountains in working order - if you install it, keep it flowing.WashingtonGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950523974356540767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-69987047602939323102009-08-11T15:17:38.947-04:002009-08-11T15:17:38.947-04:00What a handsome young man you were!

I love history in general, but it's especially meaningful to hear stories from people who lived in the same general area but in different eras. My mother grew up on <a href="http://photo-cyn-thesis.blogspot.com/2009/06/silver-spring-avenue-then-and-now.html" rel="nofollow">Silver Spring Avenue</a> right around the corner from the fire house. She used to talk about skipping school (Blair)sometimes to go down to the swimming hole.Cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787927933858782267noreply@blogger.com
