Just watched the Polk (st.) video. we lived at 3644 west polk in the ’40s & 50’s. I went to Gregory School!!! starting in 1947, my brothers Gerald (Jerry) & Phillip started in 1935 & 1940.
I was inside 2004 or so, looks just the same!!!
Would LOVE to reconnect with neighbors & school friends.

appreciate the kind words. my father went to Manley for high school in the 1930s.
Thank you Larry. I enjoy all of your posts. That church building was Presentation church and school. I attended during the late 1950’s. Its good to see the old neighborhood!
