Similar was true about Phenix City as you came across the 14th St. Bridge
from Columbus to Phenix City. We visited two sets of grandparents who lived out
toward Smith's Station. We had to leave from their houses early in the
afternoon on our return home because the part of Phenix City in which we'd travel
through (downtown) would be starting to 'crank up' by late afternoon/early
evening. I can remember getting very quiet while we rode through that area -
looking hard for something of interest - never saw anything. As we'd pass the
Golden Rule Cafe right off 14th St., my mother would comment that it was a "rough"
place.
What were your grandparents Name. I know a lot of people who lived in that
area.

I remember The Golden Rule. It was owned and operated by France Knighton. I
don't remember it being a particularly rough place but it may well have been.
I delivered meats to the restaurant and got to know France pretty well.
Great Scrambled Dogs!
