Coming Home

Athens, beautiful new buildings sprouting from every bare plot of earth with-in its city limits, how well I remember my hometown. I have not lived in Athens for many years, but my memories of our city are all good ones. I lived on Fern Street and there were many other kids that also grew up there.

Fern Street was my home for the first eighteen years of my life. There are so many memories from Fern Street that I could write an entire book on just my adventures there. Where would I start if I were to write a book? I was born in my Mother’s bed in a house that still sets there. Today as I write these words, I think there are only six of the homes left standing that once lined both sides of Fern Street. The others have been torn down to be replaced with parking lots, warehouse buildings or just vacant holes that stare out into the street that used to be alive with the shouts of playing children and their Mothers calling them home for supper or bedtime. 20 Fern Street is now converted to an apartment building.

I also remember Court Street quite well. Of course many of the old storefronts along Court Street are now Bars. I "grew up" in the place called the College Inn, now the “CI,” In those days, very few College Students went there. It was a great place for young kids and Steve and his nephew George were very tolerant of us. We could get a coke and a bowl of chili and make it last all evening. I still think about some of the good times I had there.
