Madison Flashbacks
1960's




these are a collection of private anecdotes from them of us who growed up in and around our little 37115 neighborhood, late fifties to early seventies. our own message board, RSM-alumni members only. further contributions encouraged!

this thread begun 17 Nov 2000.
Roger:
Memories-  There was an above-ground pool, complete with wooden deck, in front of the Madison Square Shopping Center near the big sign for most of one summer.  It was a demo and they let people swim in it.  It was early on, because my grandmother lived across the street where Goodyear and Krystal were later built.  My aunt bought the pool and had it in her yard on Hall's Lane.

Norman's was on the end of the center close to Harvey's next to Chester's.  My Aunt Flo worked there for years.  Did anyone besides me have the nerve to ride through the front halls at Three Sisters?  Papa John's was the pizza place across from Stratton.  Here's one-  Garrett's Suburbia next to SkateLane.  What about Sidney's Roller Rink in the quonset hut on Old Hickory Blvd.  They played El Paso by Marty Robbins every 30 minutes or so.  Kay Furniture (Mom bought great quantities of furniture)?  Woody's Restaurant.  The Donald Duck.  The High Hat. People's Service Station.  Sinclair Service Station next to Donald Duck.  Madison Garage.  The Sportsman's Store.  B.F. Myers, which was later Service Merchandise.  Malone's Market.  Hale's Drug Store (the biggest 10cent ice cream cones in the world served up by my Aunt Frankie! Doc Stammer was the pharmacist.) I remember Icees over Slurpees at 7/11.  Mark lived on Peeler Trail.  Marn, what was the market at the end of Lanier?  Compton's next to Bryant's Texaco.  Also Madison Square Barber Shop where Uncle Walter worked. 

England's Salon up by Zayre's was the first unisex shop.  The guitar shop up by Neely's Bend?  Warner Mack's?  Gene's Record Shop? Tula Faye's?  WENO?  W.E. Davis & Sons Dairy?  Shall I continue? The health spa was the Cosmopolitan.  Patterson's Restaurant near Mary Nell Shop (my mother Janelle's dress store in Primrose Center).  Ed Dishman's Barber Shop?  The Side Pocket ("Rack 'em Dago!"), Lillards Billards, and the 8 Ball?  Sellers Florists?  What was the name of the book store in the square- one-armed lady managed it?  I saw Roy Rogers in person at Core Tire Service (Due West) at age 5.  Met Duncan Renaldo (Cisco Kid) when the shopping center first opened.  Shall I go on?  Rollins Market?  Alfie's?  Franksville? The A&W Rootbeer place?  The Frost Top!!?? LUM'S!!!!!!!!!  Hot dogs steamed in beer!

Love,

the Hopper story!!

226 Neely's Bend Rd. is my first memory of Madison. Next door to the Cartwright's. Both of those kids went to Madison, but I don't remember their names! Did yesterday, don't today?? I moved from Old Hickory to Madison at the age of 8. It was like moving to a big city! The first thing that thrilled me about Madison was Hillbilly Day!! I can remember when it stretched from B & B to Western Auto. Somebody has to have pictures of Hillbilly Day festivities??

I attended Taylor Stratton school ... I don't remember much about that time, but there are a few things that stand out!! 4th grade ... George Johnson & Randy Scruggs singing the theme to Beverly Hillbillies to the class.

The principal Mrs. Ingrum announcing to the school over the intercom that President Kennedy had been killed.

I got in trouble in class once and Mrs. Jensen was going to to spank my hand with a ruler. When she did she cut my hand, so I punched her in the stomach and ran all the way home. They made her apologize to me and gave me a different teacher.

They had a record player set up for recess. You could play games or you could play your 45s. It was an easy choice for me since I had a huge collection of records and all the girls hung out around the record player!!

By the age of 10 or 11 I had moved to Madison Blvd. Madison Blvd. people ... Ted Patton, Lloyd Kirby, Tony Mortin, the Scott twins, Glenn Smiley, Steve Craig, and one street over Butch Davis.

My very first job was at the Putt Putt cleaning up. Remember, if you made a hole in one on the 18th you got a free game!! Everything was closed on Sunday in Madison Sq. which meant that it was our play ground! We had our own bike race track! Yes, Roger!! The display windows at Three Sisters was always fun to ride around! We use to screw roller-skate wheels on boards and ride down the hill in front of Harvey's. Yes, that's right, we invented skate boards!! My first motorcycle came at 12. From then on Butch and I terrorized the hood! He had one also!! Used to double Copas around a lot!! Poor James Fry did a lot of walking!!

Roger, here's one for ya??? The building that A & W was in later became what???
..............Preston Lincoln Mercury ... I won two tickets there for the Indy 500..

Way too many things to remember!!!
Shoney's Big Boy!! cruising!! WMAK, WKDA am .... and then FM!! WKDF!! Drag racing behind Madison Sq. on Sunday!! I shook Tarzan's hand at Shoney's!!

Krystals 10 cents each....

Easter egg hunts at WENO radio ...later they built a western town!! What was that called??

Madison Bowling Alley! Used to see Linda Moore there!! LUST!! Montague Drive-in...and market
on and on ..That's all I can remember...my brain just shorted out!!
Thank you god for these memories!! I mean Ira North!! WHERE WHERE MADISON SQUARE !!

hop!!
I'm hungry ...I'm going to the Omni Hut and get some pepper steak!!



ARBY'S, AUG 1970


R. Steven:
Again, thanx for so many memories, dug out from beneath old floorboards! Man!

So many questions:
1) The Dog House!!! Wow! Where was that located? Don't think I ever went. Must have been 'beneath' me.

2) Mark, that street behind Stratton is Douglas! Big ole hill.

3) Where was BURGER BOY?!? On Gallatin Rd, down near Primrose Center? Wasn't there a Dairy Queen too? Dairy Dip?? Hey, remember Tradewinds???? The smell of minnows and bait. Hey, let's go to the lake! Saunder's Ferry Road. Boat docks. Water-skiing. Slalom (2 feet on one ski!). Hendersonville was TINY then! Bluegrass Country Club! The high-dive.

Najar's Market. Amqui. Madison Bowl. Billy, what was the club ('70s) nearby, Coming Attraction played there? (Not the Silver Swinger... Frontier??) Giant Foods. Muntz Cartridge City!!! 8-tracks AND 4-tracks! Zayre's. 7/11 Slurpees. Biking down Gibson Drive, FAST!

4) Where was Norman's? Pete, what about getting fired for fishin'? You don't mean KORNMAN'S, do ya? Gene's Record Shop!!!!!! Buying Beatles 45s for 77¢ on their day of release. Saving up to afford ALBUMS! I still have some of those same discs.

5) Hey, remember the little pizza place, across from Stratton? And the hobby shop? Model airplanes, little square bottles of Testors paint, airplane glue... how 'bout the little drug store right next to Stratton?

6) Roger, what was that hardware store again? Drakes?

7) Forrest Park. And Old Hickory Blvd. Ted Bryant's Texaco, right?? What was that drum shop? Winkler's?? Cotten Music! Was there a Hewgley's branch in the Square?

8) Deanna lived on Elm? Pete on Barbara Drive? (first ever potato smoked?) Down the street from Anne Bailey?? HA! Billy, the Miss America Pageant!! Mark, forgive me but I cannot recall your house/street??

9) Did anybody end up actually going steady with Debbie Randall? I always wanted to marry Charlotte Collier SO BAD.

10) Tom Thumb Green House! Wow, I haven't thought of that in so long. And, go-karts! Paper drives!! And school fund-raising spaghetti suppers!!

11) How about the Montague Drive-in?! With the huge M! I saw "Circus Of Horrors" there with the family! Hopper mentioned swings at the Colonial!! Good lord, eons ago! That was a HUGE screen, I can see the stately front of it now!

12) Apartments! What a new concept! Cliffie, I remember visiting your's & Cindy's little apartment near Dupont St (?) later on with Vic.

13) HARVEY'S!!!! Madison's only escalators. Vaguely remember the health club though.

14) Remember: in the beginning there were 2 grocery stores in the Square! Kroger's at one end, and a different one 'round the back on the other end by the barber shop. Baskin-Robbins ice cream.

Woolworths's and Walgreens. J.C. Penneys. Thom McAn shoes.

Commerce Union Bank, stand-alone 'island' down by the street, I got my first loan there (1972), to buy Frank Spero's Kharmann Ghia!! S & H Green Stamps!! Yes, Billy!!

Butch on Emmitt! Billy Graves on Chadwell? Castleman on Port Drive!!!! Fred Ray & Audie Stewart at the end of Diane Ct.!! AAAUUGGHH!

Where's Copas?

Can't ya just picture TAXMEN at St. Joseph? Packed. Wowing them with "Whiter Shade Of Pale"!

Shoot, didn't anybody have cameras back then? Where's the goddam photo archive for all of this??? Non-existent?

pete here...
"i remember billy butler's apartment (behind burger boy) playing bongos to mamas and papas I DIG ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC." pete says he was the loner. rednecks ruled and he was stoned. pete and underwood (ronnie) got arrested behind madison square for drinkin' beer.

billy interjects.. I GOT ARRESTED FOR DOIN' DONUTS ON THE ICE BEHIND MADISON SQUARE. (the donuts didn't care).

pete has fond memories of hillbilly day. mostly the girls in sadie hawkins shorts. billy has fond memories of clean up day the day after, when real men/boys with cars would meet and talk about cleaning the trash and dating debbie randall.

i'm semi-proud to say i worked at the lazy susan. i still have a fascination with fried chicken. pete worked at NORMANS. he got fired for fishin' (ask him).

pete worked at tom thumb green house behind madison square. he also worked at sgt. peppers behind the square. pete is squarely behind the square. he played with FLAT CREEK and MADISON SYMPHONY F*CKERS behind madison square.

work, work, work, and die....

the spero party


                                       

Mark:
What about Harvey's dept. store in the square...bought shcool clothes there when center shopping became more important and convenient than going downtown.

Then there was the health club next door, about the same time Lazy Suzan's showed up. Had a membership one summer before my ninth grade year. Quite monumental, eighth grade...glasses, braces, flat top haircut...ninth grade, contacts, no braces, longer hair, grew about four inches and worked out all summer, nobody knew who I was, it was great.....

Putt-Putt I remember, no pool and so strange when they took all the stuff out of the back and built the road cutting through to Old Hickory blvd. in the rear of the center. How about the Colonial Drive-In...? any memories of pop corn and poontang?????  Well, ok, how about the Dog House, quarts of PBR and Rum River Crooks to smoke...?

How is it that Arby's still has the same tasting roast beef and stuff that they did when you worked there...? Almost up to par with the consistency  of Krystal's......well almost, nothing beats a sackful of the little gutbombs, with cheese if you please.

Remember when apartments started popping up everywhere? What a strange concept in living at the time. Bill Butler was the first person I ever knew that lived in an apartment. Anybody ever hear anything about him?

Cliffie
Roger:
Hey Madisonians! Great little tour, R.
Doochins is kaput. The Spanish place was Howell & Son Realty & Auction (Hugh). The Presbyterian church (home of the Crux Dementia) is a Jack-in-the-Box! The pay-per-bounce trampoline place went out of business and my dad bought us one. Remember the go-carts behind Madison Square? Remember the swimming pool in front of Madison Square? Remember 1971? If so, you weren't there! I also worked at the Lazy Susan for one night. The cook killed a cat with a hammer. That was Draper's Hardware, since moved closer to Due West. Come on home, R. We have internet AND fried chicken!

Sister Llynda:

the roller skating rink next to mcdonald's across from st. joseph's church that i went to every friday night where i skated the circle of the rink at least 300 times, hand in hand with my friends donna randall and jann waltenbaugh to music like "it's my party" by lesley gore and "easier said than done" by the essex.  the week at school i campaigned my buns off to get every kid i knew to go skating the following friday night and scream their guts out for the Taxmen at the battle of the bands contest.

walking to my job at the dairy queen on saturdays and sundays by taking the back way from graycroft to ronnie road and then through the fields to the railroad tracks just before crossing over gallatin road to the DQ.  had to walk cuz daddy wouldn't let mama take me.

standing in line to get our 'shots' (ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!) at that church on gallatin road while we smelled that funky smell of rubbing alcohol and heard other kids crying. feeling sick at our stomachs knowing we were next.  i think it was a church.  anybody remember which one?

HILLBILLY DAY!!!!  overalls, straw hats, painted on freckles,  pink and white gingham long dresses and bonnets parading down gallatin road to the smell of hot dogs and the sound of rides... waiting for the hillbilly day parade.

  sweet and sassy bakery after cheerleading practice.  'goin to the shoppin center' on saturdays and shoneys after the games on friday nights, madison church of christ with the tomlinson twins on sunday...

  not a gallatin road thing...but me and donna and jann and susan rosso having parties in the randalls' basement on saturday nights so we could dance with boys and turn the lights out and make out.  decorating with red crepe paper and balloons all day saturday, bringing hoards of potato chips and stacks of hit singles...(make out favs were "hold me thrill me kiss me" and "groovy kind of love".)  the saturday afternoons in the basement when we took turns pulling our pants down in front of jerry koch and john mclaughlin...'we showed 'em ours if they showed us theirs'.

  much love to you my madison buddies...

Re: madisonmadisonmadison, ok? hey!

Go Hop!

So many of the, er, lower-class locations, I barely knew. The Moore's were rich and smart. (smart-ASS!) I was studying algebra, while you guys were drinking hot sauce and doin' billiards. HA!!! Ain't it funny how Billy A was such a HOT CAR freak?! Before anybody else! That Mustang Mach-1? Vrooooom!

I remember very very little of Old Hickory. Or DuPont. Isn't it amazing, in the history, how that bridge virtually launched Madison's prosperity? A link, if you will.

I remember slot cars!!!!

Dennis Mangrum died?

Terry, tell me more about 'Carvin Hunley death.' whoa!!

Remember Houston Ragan's wrestling accident?? Paralyzed? Remember the wheelchair ramp, built at his house? Sad.

Blowing up mail boxes! LOL!

Camping out with Rick Christian & Johnny Watson (!) at that field behind Ronnie Road (Gray's Farm? Gray's Field? Gray's?)...

Which reminds me the woods behind our 507 Graycroft house. Man, I navigated that forest like mad for years! Early! Short cut to visit South Summerfield, Richard Willis, The Randall's....and later, Roger!

Llynda, remember the bizarre church over the hill? Church of God of Prophecy? They were chanting in tongues! Weird, spooky memories....

Dean Teasley / Charlie High / David 'Dawg' High, regulars at the Winstons. Roger, what was the Winstons' dog's name?? HA! One night, Nat Winston hit me, and I huffed outta the house and climbed a tree!?! Then, I think I fell out, on my head!! Terry came out and I had amnesia!!

Hop, did you ever go to the Winstons?

Pickin & grinnin.

Mike Schmidt. Debra McDaniel.

Don't forget the pool hall ...8 BALL..you had to have a note to be in there. Remember the little hunch back man that ran the place SHORTY "rackem Shorty"

"you can't rackem without the balls" I saw Audie Stewart win a bet there once. He bet every one in there that he could drink a gallon of water in 3 min. For 5 bucks he would drink a bottle of hot sauce! There was another pool hall across the street down some steps but I don't remember the name??

Did any body own a slot car and race it at the track in Madison Sq. Butch and I was there racing one day and his father came in to take him to get a hair cut. When he came back he was crying cause Hall the barber had cut it too short.
