DeleteReally neat.Not how I
ReplyDeleteRemembered. But it's been a long time.
Thanks for visiting my blog, Charles, and I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. M'boro has changed since I was there, too, but I saw lots of familiar places, too. Great town.
DeleteI love these photos. I moved away from Middlesboro a few years ago and I get home sick around this time of year. I'm surprised that the cat that guards arthur museum is still around. Thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out the blog, Sandra! We loved the cat at the Arthur Museum--she was so sweet! She followed me to the entrance gate when I left, but she wouldn't venture any further. I get homesick for M'boro and the mountains this time of year, too.
DeleteI love these. Its hard to see the small details when you are on a rushed visit back home. Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed the photos! Thanks for visiting my blog!
DeleteThese are beautiful, and make me miss my hmetown.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I live in Lexington, KY, now and love it, but I will forever miss Middlesboro and those beautiful mountains.
DeleteI love these pictures! I moved away 13 years ago and i dont get to be home as much as i would like to. ❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Amy! I don't get home much either, and I sure miss those mountains.
DeleteBeth, I have so enjoyed finding your blog and seeing your photographs. I love Middlesboro, too, and I remember you as a child at West End School and your sweet Mom and Dad. You were always so polite. I never tire of seeing photos of all the special things about Middlesboro. One of my favorite places when I was younger was Lee's Drug Store. We'd go there for Hit Parade magazines, fountain cokes, and during the transition time in school from doing cursive writing with a penpoint, staff, and ink to a cartridge pen, the best place to buy a cartridge pen was Lee's. If we all sat down and talked about the small things that were important to us as children growing up in Middlesboro, it would be amazing what our conversations would remind us of that we have forgotten, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteMrs. Wilder? I remember you so fondly from West End! Hope all is well with you. Thank you for visiting my blog, and I'm happy you enjoyed the Middlesboro photos. I love hearing remembrances of Lee's Drug Store and my precious parents--thank you for sharing with me. Middlesboro is such a special place.
DeleteLove the pictures and makes one homesick as well. I live now in Calif. but miss the Boro. Thanks for posting. Hope there's many more coming.
