If anyone has any other cool, nostalgic pictures of our town around 1965, I
would like to include them here, so please e-mail me - peggy@saturnc.com. I would be glad to
scan them and return them at my expense. Thanks.

Our old courthouse in the distance.
Anderson Bank Building (10th & Meridian). Cousins Jewelers on corner and I remember Hoyt Wright's clothing store just down the street and Frisch's on the corner. Look closely and you will see people crossing the street with the "scramble" system. This started in (I think) around 1956. A bell would ring and everyone "scrambled" to any corner or side they wanted. All traffic was stopped all ways when this took place. Courtesy Barbara Armstrong
Built about 1963, the brand new Interstate I69.
