Not to be blunt, but Ma Beechie's , so called night Club a whore house for
the boys who were station at Fort Benning and others (Well, that's what my
parents told me.)

I also remember a nightclub, only went there one time, it was call Chad's
Rose Room and Chad was just a little to friendly for us teenagers.(Mama didn't
know about that night.)

I remember the Hitching Post where we would pick up something to eat on the
way to the Phenix City Drive Inn.
My husband , would never eat hot dogs anywhere but the 14th Street Grill. I
can remember being sick traveling thru Columbus, across the River thru Phenix
City just to see Dr.
David T. W. Chi. I can remember my husband talking about his back yard backed
up to Hoyt Sheppard's back yard. Hoyt went out of town and the person who was
supposed to feed his two large dogs , but they didn't. My Carlton climbed the
fence and fed these huge dog watchers. When Hoyt came home he was so touched
he bought my Carlton a bicycle. I remember when Cloyd Tillery,(Phenix
Foundry) Carlton's uncle help him build a race car for the Soap Box Derby and he
would have won if it had not been for the boy next to him, ran into him and
Carlton hit the curb and if I remember correctly the boy won.


I remember as a teenager going across river and over the bridge on hayrides
and the M. P. stopping us.(awwman, can you believe we teenage girls flirted
with the MPs?) I remember visiting West Side Baptist Church , with Rev.
Maverity Ministering. I remember pushing a 1940 Hornet to get where we wanted to go,
the Hornet belonged to Mickey Waldrop. I can remember alot of us girls were
out looking for boys in Phenix City, in my dad's 1959 Ford, (brand new) and we
stop to buy some cold drinks and I fortgot to pull the brake up and it rolled
off the curb and was rolling down Summerville Road with us chasing it. Janice
Wiggins Wyrosdick and I chased it down, while the others stood their
laughing.

on the community page.

I write about the late mid to late 1950s. If anyone has any stories about
their ancestors and Phenix City or stories about your school days and what you
remember of your Glory Days, Church, school, Phenix City and the surroundings.
Any thing of interest , I will print it ,with your permission. Pictures would
be great.

I write mostly about Jordan High School and my Glory Days. This week story
is about Elvis.

I would love to enter any stories your younger days.

If you remember the Phenix City old days, let me know or just your memories.

I share my ancestors on my "Glory Days", I would love to share anyone who has
ancestors to write about or stories that are cute, funny , even sad ones that
should be remembered.

I would love to do a story on the Phenix City Story and where you were and
what you were doing and also love to know about your ancestors and what part
they play in Phenix City, good or bad.

I've just heard the Mayor of Phenix City was born and raised in Girard,
Alabama. So was my mother and her mother. (Richarson, McKenzie and McBride) Maybe
we can talk him in to sharing his ancestors and a story or two with us. I
heard him talk a few weeks ago and he loves his home town and is trying to change
the image of Phenix City.

If you don't mind sharing your stories and your ancestors lives, please let
me know. (Send me your stories, and I'll stop writing about mine, :o)
