When I would awaken in the morning the radio or one of three TV channels were heard- no computers or smart phones. These were items of science fiction. Shortly after awakened the distant sound of 100s of hammers could be heard. Housing was being built at an alarming rate as this was post WWII. All building materials were manually attached so hammers instead of air nailers.
Adams Blvd. was a very narrow gravel road known as Toalson Rd. The gravel stretched from Marie's Restaurant to Madison Blvd. A short section of Madison Blvd was rural, country road, partially gravel.
On Friday nights high school football home-games were attended by hundreds of students. These were social gathering places that were greatly anticipated . Dances were held afterward at the location of the new Bartlesville Library. Great memories.
