Decatur, GA, circa 1954.

---

1. The reader board/arch was not there when we were and neither was the handicapped ramp leading to the main entrance of the school.
2. The Lester house at 507. When we were there, the entrance to the front porch was from the side, as indicated by the yellow arrow.
3. On this same corner was the Sinclair filling station. Inside what is now the blue building just to the left was the Depot Barber Shop.
4. The famous Marilyn Monroe calendar, which was affixed to the west wall of the Sinclair station. I checked it out on a regular basis.
5. I finished the seventh grade at WPS in the spring of 1954. While my parent's house was being built out in Avondale, I went to the eighth grade at DHS and sat in Mr. Phillip's math class in the North Building there (yellow arrow).
6. Ray's Men's Shop. I rented a tux there for the 1959 Avondale High School spring prom. I went to that prom with a girl named Ann Hudson. I thought that she was the greatest thing on earth since sliced bread. Just to the left of the tux shop and before the army/navy store was a seed/garden type thingy. I remember the kerosene smell of the "Ortho" insecticide products.
7. The A&P grocery store on Claremont Avenue, circa 1948. The entrance to the store was on the far right hand side of the building. I remember it quite well.
