    I was raised on the east side, all my child hood memories are there and at the Bar in the Photo, known as Franklin Place tavern,and the building next door to it was ( or may still be )the fire house.Thru pictures, i have seen many disturbing changes,…….my neighborhood i grew up in , is no longer there……saddens me.
