Christmas Parade Then and Now

“WHAT A DIFFERENCE A PARADE MAKES”

Four years ago while visiting my daughter’s family for Thanksgiving I attended the Johnson City Christmas Parade. She had recently moved here and it was our first visit to see the area. The parade seemed an easy do with a two year old, so we trotted down the street, crossed Walnut Street, and went through a vacant lot to find a spot on the curb of State of Franklin to await the parade.

I found my surroundings pretty dismal. The vacant…

The CC&O Railroad Depot Project

An important piece of our neighborhood is now in safe hands as the Johnson City Development Authority has taken ownership of the CC&O Depot on Buffalo St. This relic of our past now will go through careful preservation and eventual development as a centerpiece and anchor for downtown and a welcoming place for both citizens and those visiting Johnson City. Having been chosen to be Project Manager for the Depot I feel a strong sense of… Continue

One 12 Downtown

I was so looking forward to checking out the new bar, One 12 Downtown, with my dad and good friend. We had read that they were going to be showing the boxing match, but the newpaper ad stated there would be "no cover charge." So the three of us walked downtown only to discover once we arrived that there was a $5 cover. They claimed the paper was wrong.

Mistakes happen, sure enough. However, I remember that long ago businesses would have had to own up to their mistakes by…

Heroes of the TreeStreets

Have you ever noticed how heroes are never around until someone is about to plummet to their certain death?

These heroes usually just walk around blending in with the average Joe or Jane. We had the opportunity to see some heroes when the lights went out. We weren't plummeting, but the temperature inside our house was. Our house was dark, cold and quiet. After a few hours without power, the novelty and romance wore off when our house's… Continue

What Do you think? -- Tree Streets Walking / Biking Trial to Elizabethton

I don't know about you, but I'm very excited about the conversion of the unused railroad tracks into a walking / biking trail. The tracks run between Walnut and State of Franklin and it would go all the way to Elizabethton ala "The Creeper Trail" in Abingdon. My family loves the Creeper, especially in the Fall. It's good for exercise (a priority for Mayer Myron) and Southside Neighborhood Organization (SNO) President, Bryan Green.



So… Continue

Glad to be here

Hi all! This is a great resource for communication!
I was talking with a retired gentleman this week who lives in the tree streets. He likes to socialize, and I am wondering if there is a tree street coffee hour or.......... for people over 65?

Hillbilly music had a home in the Tree Streets

Posted on October 6th, 2009 by Ken Harrison



There were a lot of “start up” businesses in America at the end of WWII. One of our neighbors, Jim “Hobe” Stanton, who lived in the 400 block of West Pine Street, decided to start his Rich-R-Tone Record Company in 1946. His first records were the 78-speed records. As he progressed through the years, he added other recorded music formats: 8-track tapes, cassette tapes, L.P. (long play) 33… Continue

When hobos came to the southside neighborhood

Posted on August 6th, 2009 by Ken Harrison



Back when I was a young boy growing up in our Southside neighborhood, we had a lot of men who would ring our back doorbell asking if they could have something to eat. The Great Depression and World War II made for a hard time for many people. So from 1929 until around 1946 there were plenty of men who decided to leave home and try to find odd jobs in other parts of the country. Some were… Continue

Made in America and in our neighborhood

Posted July 12th 2009 by Ken Harrison





The Southside neighborhood area was one which produced many items that were durable, and were meant to serve a given purpose at the time. Several of these items are still around and are useful in one way or another. I think it is unique that our villages of 800 or so houses and the accompanying support businesses have contributed so much to the region and the nation. Let me explain with… Continue
