Ah! Those Were the Days

Feature #5943 -- Ah! Those were the day's my dear mother Ruby Barker Riggins saved that issue for her son who went south. I discovered it years later. That's my graduating class and Lee and E. J. were dear friends of mine, since departed. I was a classmate of Lee's from the first grade at Washington Elementary School. ~Bill Barker

Feature #5943 -- "Since my older brother was in that class, I remember these two very well. I also remember the good old days on the square, including Blakemore's and the B&B Bar and Grill (there was a bar in the back half of the building). Chris and Loren Brehmer (father and son) purchased the B&B later. We sometimes had fish fries there when we could get the cooks to deep-fry our catch and serve it with french fries. I also remember when Safeway was in the east block on the north side of the square.Ahhhh . . . , the memories, memories. The downtown was alive then."   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
