My purpose here is to try to put down my memories of growing up in Suffolk, Virginia during the 1950s. Good Grief! That's over fifty years ago! And boy, oh boy, Suffolk has changed. I hope that you will help with your own comments and remembrances too! God give you Peace and All Good.

"The Square" as we used to call it...
"The Square" we used to call it. And there is the Farmer's Bank just after Sears. I always thought the ceiling in it was the most beautiful in all of Suffolk. This is fairly modern as Sears is in the picture and United Dollar Store too. . Hotel Elliot in the Background and City Hall on the right center with the Towers. This is after the Walk/Don't Walk Signs. I remember when the went up we used to corss and wail and cross and wait over and over just to try them out! On the Right is the American Bank, then Nansemond Drug, then Leggett's,.... what else?

On the left, looking north towards the hotel, would have been Mr. John Mucci’s (sp) Ritz Cafe, Brewer’s Jewelry and the theatre. On the right would have been January’s menswear, Joyner’s drug store and the Post Office, divided by Bank St.
ReplyDeleteCorrection: or was it Russel’s drug store?🤪
