Your post brings back so many good memories. My grandparents lived at 801 Quincy St. Back then, much of Quincy St. was a brick road (like present day Ann St. in the historic district). As kids, my cousin and I use to climb the hill and then run down the sidewalk with reckless abandon. We went to a kindergarten that was taught in a house on Quincy (believe it was 1101 Quincy). The kindergarten was run by the Catholic nuns, who resided at the former convent at the corner of 13th and Quincy. Occasionally, we walked to Quincy Park and then down the stairs to Avery St.

Read you post daily and always enjoy your humor, wisdom, and transparency. You provide a relevant, daily gift to your readers.

Give my best to Mr. FixIt. The next time we are back home, would enjoy seeing the two of you!

The setting sun from there is amazing. and yes you can see the stars. I too left for Texas and came back to visit family with distaste for old and dirty little town, Parkersburg. We moved back also, across the river in Ohio, and I am seeing it through the eyes of someone who finds the beauty and peace of small town life now. The sad thing is our children have the view of WV as many in this country do even to the fact that some still think it is just the western part of the state of Virginia. Of course, after college, they did have to go were the jobs were. We visit all those big cities and come back and breathe a sigh of “glad to be home”.
