It's hard to remember our Airport ever looked like this but I remember it well.

How many had their first Pizza at Casellas?  I think you could get a small one for under a $1.00.

Remember JCPenney  at the corner of Center and Jefferson Street.  I loved going in there when I was young and watching them send the money to a Cashier somewhere in the store through a series of pipes or whatever, I think Livingstons had the same thing for years. I wonder if the picture below is on Dollar Days?


 

Here is a picture of a place which has always fascinated me,  The Oaks on Grove Street.  I always thought it would be so neat to live there. This is a picture of the back, the front has a fence around it.

Larry, apparently there was a   Carriage House   connected with the property and they remodeled it several years ago.  I don't know if anyone lives in it but they said they did a wonderful job.

The carriage house was the brick building on the right in your photo of the property. The main house is on the left. When I delt with them the carriage house was a garage for the few people who lived in the old Oaks  There was a varrands on the front of that buiding that I'm sure was very fancy when it was a pricate home. I was told once that if you have a mint julip it's a verianda. If you have a cup of coffee it's a porch. If you have neither then it's just a shame.

Here is a picture for my classmates that attended Emerson Grade School.  This is a picture of the 5th grade class.  The teacher was Ms. Charlotte Keplinger.  I am seated to her left with Willie Butler in front of me and Jerry Lane seated right behind me.  Please enjoy a small piece of history.

Couldn't resist this!

I'm at that awkward stage between birth and death.
I'm pretty sure I only need one more bad decision and then I'll own the whole set. I have too many "I probably shouldn't have done that"s, and not enough “Let me think about this first”s. Sometimes, I lie awake at night and ask, "Where did I go wrong?" Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take longer than one night." I've made mistakes ... and my mistakes have made me. I used to hate mistakes, but then I realized they've taught me almost everything I know.
We all have a past. We've all made choices that maybe weren't the best ones. None of us are completely innocent but, we all get a fresh start every day to be better people than we were yesterday.
We all know what happens to the squirrel that sits on the corner of “maybe next time” and “shoulda been faster”.
You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.

Remember going north on Main Street through Normal and seeing the "green military looking" housing known as Cardinal Court for the married students at ISNU now ISU?


This is the inside of the Animal House at Miller Park which had a smell all its own!
