Commented On Reflections on Memorial Day
“Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the many brave men and women in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our cherished freedoms and liberties. Although we will never be able to repay the debt of gratitude we owe to our nation’s fallen heroes, we must honor our obligation to care for their loved ones who bear the personal burden of their sacrifice.”

Commented On The Bistro West Peachtree NW Atlanta Georgia
Thanks for the comments and thanks to Stan for the automatic notification when someone comments on one of my older articles. At 77 years old, I realize that I am probably far out of touch with the various local venues for aspiring entertainers, but I can’t help but wonder if there are still troubadours touring the country in small bars, VFW clubs, or Bowling Alley entertainment rooms. My time on the beer trail was full of such joints. It was a time when entertainers drove in cars, Greyhound, or trains, or parhaps with a guitar strapped over their shoulder and a thumb in the air from town to town honing their talent. Many never made it to stardom but a few like those mentioned in the comments did and we are all the better for it. As Stan said, Gordon created songs that will never be forgotten until we too pass. There are those who say, like the old blues singers, you can’t write a sad or inspirational song until you have lived a sad or inspirational life. I don’t know if that is true but thank God that these songs were written.
Thanks also to Andrea Hayward Nickerson for your parent’s participation in those days of yore. Atlanta is a city that doesn’t hold much to maintaining historical buildings. I have not been by the old Bistro site in years, but I do occasionally visit The Varsity -1928- which is not far from there. I will be sure to drive by and see what a atrocity has been built on that lot. |

Merry Christmas to you too Stan. Best Wishes for continued success in the year ahead.
Bobby Tony has not left the building he is just hiding. |

December 8, 2021 UPDATE
I received a private message with some corrections to this article. See Below: Thanks to Sharon Powel for this correction. I have removed her Email Address for privacy reasons. Hi, Bobby! I just ran across this article by you , and wish to thank you! There are, however some discrepancies that I would love to let you know about. I know that you don't won't be editing this article, but, I have spent many, many years straightening out misunderstandings on behalf of the Hall's actual owners. The club was never owned by Jack Tarver, but he did run the club under a management contract, as did Alex Cooley prior to Jack's tenure. The owners' names are Robert Dulong, and Maurice Ehrlich. Bob is still around, but Mo passed away a couple of years ago. The reason we closed was that Broadview Plaza was bought by a development company which determined that a disco would be better placed in our location and did not renew our lease. We had to scramble to find a new location, and we staff members worked hard to get us moved. I would be happy to help with any future articles, or to answer any questions you may have.

Commented On Disappearing South, Volume I: Homes Once Alive
Liz Partrick's love and appreciation of The Old North State is vividly shown in these images. These important yet fading places remind us of a simpler time. Imagine the sunrises there, the sunsets, hardworking people taking care of themselves, their families, their friends and neighbors, many living off the land, beloved pets who shared these places, lives that began and ended within these walls. Thank you, Liz, for sharing these treasures with us. Keep traveling old dusty roads, with your canine companions by your side, doing what you love best, and reminding us all the while of the beautiful place we call home.
