Many thanks for the kind word, Paul.

I wouldn't call our Marfa lights all that 'mysterious' - at least after some of us determined they could be taken out by a Daisy BB gun! [sneaky]

Did Marfa Avenue have mysterious lights like Marfa Texas?  Probably not, huh.

Dale - Coincidence in house #'s, 1322 - we were on Marfa Ave., off Ramona Ave., which crossed Overton Rd. 

Coach Leon Turner, Clara Oliver Elem., lived 3 doors up on the corner for a while, Delma Williams lived 3 doors down, Sarah Duniho, Zita Campbell & Frankie Petrick lived 1 block down.

2 small drive-in grocery stores were on opposite sides of Ramona & Overton - V-Mac, where David Mitchell worked, and Dobb's (formerly Nick's since '36), where I worked for a big guy named 'Tiny'.

Our old tel# was FR-2212, then FR4-2212, then 374-2212; grandmothers' were WHitehall2-5229 (Lincoln) & -8041 (Robinson). [cool]

Now, I don't know what part of my brain that's stuck in.  But, there's another part that will say go on to the store - you only need 3 items (you already know where this is heading, don't you?).  Then, after walking all over the store, wracking my brain, I wind up calling home to ask what the hell that 3rd one was! [mad]

Lastly, I'd like to mention that today, Kathy & I are starting to celebrate our 25th "Silver" wedding anniversary.  It was the '2nd time around' for both of us and we've been blessed ever since - and so have our sons.  To be continued ... [thumb]

Dale, I'd forgotten about the party lines!  Thank goodness by the time I got to the 8th grade we had a pvt line.  We had the standard black telephone with a 25 ft cord on it.  Long enough I could drag it to my closet when I got a call I didn't want my little brother listening in on!

SNL, I remember having a party line that was just 1-9657. Mrs. Beall, two doors down would listen in on every bodies phone calls. Later, they added the FR for the Franklin exchange. I lived at 1322 Waweenoc for the first 18 years of my life. (till collage)

Good memory Dale.  Amazing we can all remember the exact address and probably pho # of our homes and our friends growing up in Oak Cliff.  It seems so vivid to me.  4922 Kildare FR4-3983.  Geez, it's been almost 55 yrs since I lived in that little house.

SNL, Yuvonne lived at 1329 Kingsley, about a half block from Pentagon Parkway. Mike Spray lived at the end of her block and Clark Smith lived across the street. Earlene Shugart lived just around the corner.

Yes Mario!  It was all uphill going to Autry's but a breeze coming home.  I also remember Clarence Laney living the corner house at Bartlet and Kingsley.  I think after our street the next one was Bartlet and then Denley.

Sandy, we lived on the corner of Kildare Ave & Adelaide Dr., just the next block over from yours. I remember Kingsley Rd., because it was an uphill ride on our bikes almost all the way to Lancaster Rd., and you’re right there weren’t many houses that I can remember facing Kingsley, mostly it seemed there were only sides of houses, right? But who knows, when you’re on your bike pedaling uphill mostly you’re looking straight ahead.

OK Dale, where on Kingsley did Yuvonne live?  Most homes didn't face Kingsley but some did.  I lived on Kildare the 4th house from Kingsley.  Mario also lived on Kildare but a few blocks down.  Gordy lived 3 doors from me.
