Comments:I went back and noticed that I was in error. Hillbilly days was in fact mentioned. Sorry about that.

While I'm at it. Does anyone remember Pine Springs Resort which was located at Lester's lake out by the airport. I used to spend a lot of summer days there. The lake was divided in half with half of it being for fishing and the other half for swimming. The swimming half had a sand beach and a lot of other amenities. There was a two story building on the fishing half of the lake that had what I remember as being a dance hall on the second floor.

Comments:So many memories. I grew up in the Una and Flatrock (Woodbine) area in the '50s and '60s and can remember many of these wonderful events and places.

One that I didn't see, or maybe I missed it, was Hillbilly Days in Madison. This was always such a huge annual event in Nashville and I can remember that one year, the Beverly Hillbilly's made an appearance in the parade as I recall.

I used to spend many happy hours at Fair Park, Cascade Plunge and also at the Rollerdrome. The rollerdrome had a bus that would come by and pick us up on Saturday mornings and then bring us back home.

I'd also like to mention that I loved making the trip out toward Lebanon to Horn Springs Resort and swimming in the pool there. The water was so cold that I can still remember it.

I also vividly remember the night that the Women's building at the Fairgrounds burned. We could see the light from it all the way out at Smith Springs Road.

Harvey's and the Monkey Bar was also such a highlight for my brother and myself.

Of course, these were the days when people dressed for their shopping trips, men wore suits and a fedora and women were always dressed to look their best. Jeans were something you wore to play outside in the dirt, never to go out in public.

You've opened memory lane when life was simpler and Nashville was a thriving metropolis striving to make it's mark on the national scene.

Have great memories of going to the park every year to see what had been added and listen to the Christmas carols and sigh at how wonderful it was. Thanks for compiling all these goodies for us to remember. . . brought many smiles to my heart. Now Huel Howser is out here in California where I now live. But he still sounds like home to me.

Kressy, Woolworth and Grants on Fifth Avenue were my mother's favorite places to shop. Does anyone remember the Rainbow Sundaes at Walgreen's or the drop dead fabulous Banana Splits at Candyland. Thanks for reminding me of the wonderful place, in which, I grew up.

Does anyone remember Finkle;s 5 and 10, on Gallatin Road, near Greenwood avenue, or the hot cake donuts from the Krystal. I lived on East Delmas, just off of Gallatin Road. Phillips-Robinson was across from my street.... used to see their Red Angel come rolling out, with a big rotating three-piece light on top. I love this memory joging collection of names and places in Nashville.

I do remeber the grill faced the street and as you walked by you could see the cooks working away. The smell wasn't bad either.

Wendy's frosty is the closest that I have found. They were served in tall glasses that where small at the bottom and larger at the top.I liked it with a dip of ice cream on top.Great memories.

Comments:I am looking for members of "The Gale Lane Gang" from the 1940's and '50s. Even into the early '60s. We are looking for folks who lived on Gale, Clayton/E. Clayton, Craig, Vaulx, Kirkwood, Lealand, Granny White, Battlefield, and Franklin Road. We've missed a few streets there, but check in with me if you lived in that area back in the day.

Here are just some of the family names we're looking for. A star (*) beside the name means that we have located that family. We know that there are many more who are still around.

Adgent, Campbell, Cartwright, Chilton, Collins, Connelly, Cordell, Crawford, Crouch, Deer, Donlon, Earl, Florence, Greenfield*, Grooms, Hailey*, Hall, Hamner*, Hampel, Hanson*, Holzapfel, Joyce, Levy*, Lisle, Long, McDowell, Myers, Nichol, Phillips, Preis, Ramsey*, Reynolds, Siegenthaler, Spore, Stansell*, Welch (2 families), and Wrenne

We are considering a reunion and tour of the Sunnyside Mansion (in John Sevier Park) if we can locate enough folks.

Thanks to Allen Forkum and the crew at "The Nashville Retrospect" (www.nashvilleretrospect.com) for helping us in the effort to find "The Gale Lane Gang". If you don't yet subscribe to that wonderful little monthly paper, you're really missing something!

Special thanks to the memory of Thomas Lawrence Connelly (1938-2001) for his Nashville! magazine article from some years ago called "Goodbye to the Gale Lane Gang: A Gentle Look at the 1940's". The article is where this all began!

Comments:Does anyone remember a Nashville resident named "Cuz" Crouch? I don't remember his real first name, but I believe he was a Nashville attorney. At any rate, during summers in the 1940s, "Cuz" was one of the powers that be at Camp Greenbriar in Alderson, West Virginia. I attended that camp during almost the entire summer of 1947 at the suggestion of Nashville football star Bill Wade. Bill and his parents and brother lived across the street from my parents and me on Kenner Avenue for a while during the mid-40s. Bill was a counselor at Camp Greembriar. I remember that several Nashville boys atteded the camp.

Comments:Reading this brings back so many wonderful memories. Expecially the Christmas display at the Parthanon and the Cleese Ferry (I lived in the Scottsboro Bend leading to the Ferry).
Another memory that I was looking for was from the 50's when I would take the bus from Bordeaux into town on Sat. mornings and alternately picked the Krystal or TicToc "counter" restaurants on Church Street.
I graduated from Cumberland HS (Yeah Indians) in 1963 and left Nashville in 1966 when I married my NJ man.

I was on Romper Room back then (50's) and on a children's dance show. Wish I could find tapes of those shows. Great memories! Thanks for your great work!

Comments:I was not born in this era, but my mom and other family members were. I enjoyed reading everyone's memories of Nashville. I had always heard my family talk about the same things that are written. However, there was one thing that bothered me after reading this ... Before there was Marsha Trimble (rest her soul) there was KATHY JONES! I was told this story because she was good friends with my aunt and my mom.November 29 1969, Kathy Jones, 12 yrs. old, left her house to go skating at the Hippodrome and never made it. She was found the next day behind Krispy Kreme, on Thompson Ln. She had been violently raped and beaten. At the funeral home, her socks were found in her throat. This case has never been solved. It is something that has haunted my family for 42 years. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANY THING ABOUT THIS PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH THE INFO. PLEASE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS ALLOW KATHY JONES GET THE JUSTICE SHE DESERVES SO SHE CAN FINNALLY R.I.P. SHE IS/WAS ONE OF GOD'S ANGELS!!!!!!! HELP BECAUSE IT SEEMS AS IF SHE HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN~

Everything in Dreambook brings back memories. If any of you out of towners want to read some great stories on the history of Nashville, you need to subscribe to Nashville Restrospect. It is a monthly newspaper. You can call the editor, Allen Forkum, at 1-615-391-3666 and place an order. This past issue, April of 2011, had a story about a rock and roll concert at Sulpher Dell in 1959.

Comments:I have had the most wonderful night reading Nashville Memories. I am soon going to be 62, so yes I grew up in Nashville with the many things mentioned, almost makes you cry of the greatness we had. I went to Two Rivers until 10th grade. Got into girl trouble and had to finish at Howard High, which ended up being great. I once won a dance contest at the Tiger A GO GO. Yes I had the car they supplied the gas for us to go to teen clubs. I also went to Pirates Cove and Dons Den. Who would have thought of Bill Grewcock. My brother is passed now, Alvin Thomas Jr (Butch) also went to Two Rivers. Yes the ferry was the best, could get to Inglewood in no time and East Nashville. I remember working in the 70's at Irelands Steak & Biscuits on Murf RD. I graduated in 1968 from Howard and married Tommy Billingsley from Glencliff, who I met at the Dog House in Old Hickory, yea, love all the dance spots. I was in the 8th grade when I went to the first prom Two Rivers had with Mark Linville.It was called Shangrala. I looked at the pic tonight and laughed at my hair do and still loved my scarlet dress with hoops underneath. When I was very little my grandmother lived off Hermitage AVE. One day my mother came to pic me up and had the most beautiful dress given to me by Noel Ball, it was a rose colored polished cotten full skirted dress with a clown collar. Gosh!!!!! When very little in elementry school I remember the dentist coming and the health nurse with navy blue shoes, and seeing her in the parking lot, it didn't matter what your parents said you got your shots and then they were informed with note you took home. Yes there are many things I read of my very memories with Dreambook. I am now trying to find a copy of the 1967-68 Annual from Howard to see my majorette pic and best dressed superlative pic also to show my 4 grandchildren. I was in the 1967 Christmas parade marching and a Tennessean photographer ask my mother if he could take my pic for the issure the nest day on things of the Christmas Parade of 1967. He told my mother I had what he thought to be Betty Grabel legs of all the girls, can't hardly use them now.lol I would like to have a copy of that as well I do remember my march from Cenntennial Park to what is now Riverfront, in the cold which I did not feel then. Thank you for all these memories I just read. What a nice walk.

Comments:I would give my "Combat Pay" up for a month to have a plate of that Charlie Knickens BBQ with corn bread shipped out here to the Islands. These Islands are just grand, but, they still dont know how to BBQ like old Charlie did on Jefferson Street and that big skillet fried chicken was not bad either at Mamas Place just down the street from Charlies place, she used those big iron skillets to fry her chicken, would give the Old Kentucky Colonel a fit now as his chicken is "dead in the water" compared to that chicken. One regret about Nashville is that my girl would not wait until I finished my tour and run off with another to get married, before I returned, well I returned in 30 years, what did she want, to get married young, oh well it all worked out, found me another out here in the islands. Been trying to train her to cook for 30 years also, you can not win them all, but thanks for the memories, now that sounds familiar.

Comments:I have many great memories. Shelby Park and paddle boats, Summers riding the bus to Centennial Park, Fair Park, Downtown to visit the Museum, stop for a hot dog and a glass of orange juice, then over to see Old Uncle Jesse who sold papers at Printer's Alley. I use to walk the halls of the Capital Building as a kid and climb the spiral staircase in the Law Library and the workers would give me treats. The people in grand old building were wonderful. A kid could get out and explore, see the sites and be safe. I learned so much. What fun!

Comments:Even though I grew up in Ashland City, I remember a lot of these things, especially going shopping downtown and the Nativity scene at Centennial Park. I always thought it was so pretty. Brings back a lot of memories.
