Comments:Love the site. Do you know where I might find old pictures of the old Nashville Skating Rink that was off of Harding Place? I used to go there in the 70's. I can't find ANYTHING about it anywhere.

thanks!!

Comments:I didn't see the original Candyland on Church St. mentioned. Could have missed it.

I was born (1945) and raised here in Nashville. Went to Christ the King and father Ryan (on Elliston Place). We would meet at the Elliston Place Soda Shop before (and sometimes after) school.

My Dad used to play piano on the WSM Waking Crew show before his death in 1950. I friend of his, the late Dutch Gorton, used to pick me up before school and we'd go downtown as Dutch also played (trombone) on the show and afterwrds would drop me off at school.

I followed my Dad's footsteps and made a creer out of music.

Those were some of the best days of my life.

Thanks so much.

Comments:I grew up in East Nashville before moving to the country. When I look back at those years I realize that kids in Nashville were exposed to a lot of wonderful things, and most of it was free. I spent my summers at the Parthenon, the children’s museum, the Capital building where a kid could walk the halls and visit the law library just to pass the time and no one would tell you to leave. Fair Park was a safe place to spend the day and if you knew your bus routes, (which most East Nashville kid did!) you had plenty of fun safe things to do. I remember when the Hippodrome Bus would come around our neighborhood and pick the kids up for a night of skating and bring us safely back home. I remember the paddle boat rides at Shelby Park, and banana splits at Hill’s Drug Store. I remember summer swims at Old Hickory Lake, and fishing at the dam, where stories of giant cat fish kept you edgy every time something bit your bait.
Would love to hear from anyone who might perhaps remember me: Billy Claiborne, Andy Cunningham, Liz Edwards, Vicki Taylor, Kenny Taylor (not related to Vicki), the Mrs. Cartwright crowd, Pat Head, and a host of others.

I haven't read ea. & every word of Nashville memories, and
the one item I remember well were the Sunday Concerts in Cent. Park -- use to see many of the Opry favorites there, like June Carter & her sisters and her dear Moma Maybell Carter! And all for free. I lived across the Street at our Funeral Home, so this was my best entertainment in the 40s,
esp. since it was FREE!

While watching CBS News Sunday Morning, I read the credits and saw the name 'Red Grooms'. Red (world-famous artist) and his brother Penny were part of our Gale Lane / Clayton Avenue / Sevier Park gang from the very early '50s. Lordy! What a time during the '50s-'60s in neighborhoods all over Nashville!

But what about "Mrs. Brown's Coffee Shop" out on Highway 100? What a place! Cedar paneling, blackberry jam that had a smokey, burnt flavor that was so delicious...the place was so elegant...the name of the place didn't fit. We all had prom parties there, and rehearsal dinners. The place eventually burned down. Remember that combo called "The Jaquars"?

Comments:What a fun website! I just received it through a classmate and I'm so grateful. We are getting ready for our 50th high school reunion from Peabody Dem. School. (University School)

I only lived in Nashville a total of seven years and have been back only two times. I was in Nashville from fourth grade (1951) through ninth grade (1956)(living on 18th Ave. South)and then returned for my senior year (1959) (living across from the Parthenon in Centennial Park.) I visited when I was a freshman in college and then not again until my 25th high school reunion. Most of the rest of time I've lived in the northeastern part of the U.S.

This website brings back so many names of places and businesses dredging up lots of forgotten memories

Thanks for all the hard work. Now I'll be ready for that reunion!

I remember the ferryboat that took you across the
Cumberland River from Charlotte Pike to Old Hickory Blvd and vise versa. When my Dad was teaching me to drive, he
made me drive on that ferryboat on a day when it was
windy and the water was rough. I was scared to death but
he kept telling me I could do it and I did.

Also the old Princess Theater on Church where I was at when WWII ended seeing a movie, cant remember which one. Get your big bag of pop corn at the entrance to arcade for five cents, a malt in arcade for 10 cents, a krystal hamburger for 5 cents, a glass of juice at orange bar followed by a chilli dog at Kress, all for less than 50 cents, oh yes saw several movies also, went from 5th Ave Theater, to Rex then on to Princess theater (always double feature), yes that was Saturday routine in "old Nashville" for me for many years. Also attended YMCA after school for boxing, swimming, gym etc. On special occasions went over to Jefferson Street and had one of those Charlie Nickens BBQ sandwiches washed down with a Falstaff beer, yes they served any age back then. Then in summer went to Shelby park and enjoyed swimming and seeing all the girls in their one piece swim suits. Oh what memories, thanks for the site oh yes remember riding my motor scooter (Cushman) all over Nashville while delivering telegrams for Western Union, once delivered telegram to Marty Robbins he gave me a 50 cent tip, also to Elvis Prestley at Sam Davis hotel, No tip LOL. Sold missile toe on Church Street during Xmas, also shopping bags. Also delivered groceries when 8-12 on Dickerson Road for Economy Pure Food Store, 1402 Dickerson Road (boy what a memory this old man has). Thanks drop me a line, if you care to I am now in Philippines, retired Navy, Merchant Marine, not many Nashville people here in Philippines, but we do have the Nashville Room where country music is played nitely...............dean

Though I have lived away from Nashville for a long time, one of my special memories was the Arcade,and a malt shop, in my judgment, made the best malt ever. The only one who has come close to the taste is Wendy's. Thanks again and may 2009 be the best ever for you.

Comments:This fantastic collection really brought back a huge flood of long-forgotten childhood memories from the '60s and '70s! About the only thing I didn't see (it may be here but maybe I just overlooked it) from my childhood TV memories was the "Bozo Show" on old Channel 8 (now Channel 2). Also, sad to see that Judd Collins, WSM-TV's old news anchorman, died at the age of 93 last week (Dec. 2008). (Former Franklin City public schools, 1st-6th grades, then BGA, 7th-12th grades).

Comments:Chip,
Thanks again for this terrific site for homesick or displaced Nashvillians. As a full-fledged member of the Gale Lane Gang (back when 'gang' had an entirely different meaning), I can say that we had a blast during The Big Freeze of '51 and at Sevier Park every summer! I taught swimming at Sevier Park, West Park, and at the corner of 51st and Charlotte Pike. I managed Glendale Swim Club and coached the swimming team. I loved every minute of it! My school days were spent at Burton Elementary School and at David Lipscomb High School. I loved every minute of that, too, including my assignment to Sunset Club (Lipscomb-ese for 'detention') for that Payday candy bar in home economics class. Archie and Edith sang it: "Those Were the Days!"

I, in 1955 as a seventeen year old soldier, stationed at Ft.Campbell,Kentucky would spend whatever weekends I could in Nashville. On Saturday nights, I would go dancing at the downtown YMCA, where I met and made friends with students that attended various High Schools located around your city. Especially East High School located on Gallatin Avenue. I, along with friends would spend hours at Shelby Park, Centennial Park, the Parthenon and other Parks. And who could forget the "Grand Ole Opry" on 5th Avenue. Thanks for the memories,

My brother entered my 46 Ford in the Stock Car Race and wrecked it there, I forgive you Charlie. Later we entered it in the Knock Out Races and that was the end of my beautiful 46 blue Ford. Started driving around Nashville when I was 12 in East Nashville, before they never checked your drivers license and before they had insurance. Never received a ticket, why so much trouble these days over driving, need license, insurance, etc. The old days were the best, please bring back the 50s, when people were happy and care free. Never heard of a Global Melt Down back then, did not know what New York Stock Market was all about, wish I had never found out. Never had no worries, free as a breeze, now people are all bound up with fears about market, retirement, home repos, etc. No sales tax, no property tax and we all got along better than now. What happened America, you never accomplished nothing, only made life more complicated with your various laws and taxes.

No videos, computers, cell phones, AC, just good ole fun.Remember hearing a fire engine or ambulance and getting in your car to follow and see where it goes. Remember the old Hardwood on Centennial burning and Victor Chemical fire. Ride bicycles all day all over West Nashville coming home only to eat lunch and supper.

Comments:I graduated West End High School in 1966. I'm still living here in Nashville, but so much has changed. I remember the Hippodrome, Tiny Tims Hamburgers on West End with their great fudge pie, Going to the combo parties (especially the ones downstairs at Belle Meade Buffet). Still think about my first love (Randy Dozier). I've enjoyed going to the class reunions , but have lost contact with many friends over the years.
