Memories - Please Post Yours

Mark and I sat down Saturday afternoon and began a discussion of "earliest childhood memories"

Both of us had a fuzzy start to recollecting our past at 6405, but after the first five minutes or so, our memories sparked other memories and time began to fly.

The conversation lasted well over and hour and by the time we were finished we decided to leave some for later.

"the more you share, the more you remember"

We covered the gamut, from milk delivery, to a box truck full of pastries, from Frisch's at the corner of Meis and Hamilton to the Red Barn and silly teen age pranks with pickles. We both recalled Spelunking through the storm drains of North College Hill to watching movies at the Hollywood theater.

In brief here is a collection

C-A-R - C-A-R "Car car" chanted to alert playing children of approaching vehicles.
Calling friends from the sidewalk Oh... Danny or Oh Little Angie.
Les Nessman like leaf houses in the side lot (before the box house was built)
Rock fights/Apple throwing from the back yard to Savannah
The Simpsons/Ashtons
Sled Riding behind the Strassles
The Emersons
Bedroom accomodations at 6405 the building of the Peggy's room.... and a tractor in the basement?
The kitchen layout and a pantry with forbidden movies posted
Community of Hope <--- where was this church? Exactly?
Johnny being burned by oil
and many more....

I had a great time listening to stories of Mark's memories and I believe he was intrigued while listening to some of mine. I would like to ask that if you have some memories to share that you consider posting a comment below.

Enjoy
Jim
