Couldn't have been much in that area back then, eh? Bartlett has grown but
much further to the north; this part of Bartlett is still pretty much old
Bartlett

There was a lovely old house at the corner across from the Methodist Church
at the corner of Stage and Shelby St. that I always wanted to live in. It
was situated on a hill and had a wide front porch. My schoolmates and I
would walk to the drugstore at the corner and we'd sit on the retaining wall
at the bottom of that hill sometimes, drinking pop and wondering who lived
there. Never saw anyone go in or out. <shaking herself out of the reverie>
Well, we'll see if the steaks at the Side Porch are still as wonderful as my
30 year old memories. Guess they wouldn't still be in business if they
weren't!
