Scary Movie…
There was a movie theater on the main street going through the heart of Mount Airy, North Carolina in the early 1960’s that played matinee movies on Saturdays for the town’s kids. The movie variety from what I had heard was ok. I had not been to the theater and only heard stories from friends…

Let It Snow…
As a kid living in a small town in northwest North Carolina near the Virginia border in the late 50’s and early 60’s brings back some very special memories. In winter as a kid I loved the days when it would snow. There was a certain magic about those little white snowflakes gently falling downward…
