Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Bunker Garages of the Southside. Have you ever noticed all those cavelike garages built into the hills along Southside streets? Before cars, houses in the Southside didn’t need driveways. Horses and carriages reached the back sides of properties by using the alleys behind the houses. At 222 West Dunklin. The Pope garage faces onto the alley that’s now called Cedar Way. The bunker garages were built to accommodate cars of Model T. Construction of bunker garages was possible b...

Monday, November 28, 2011. How Dad’s Barbershop Was Integrated. Jefferson City was a racially segregated town all through World War II and the postwar years. Black people had to sit in designated rows in the back of movie theaters, could not enter certain businesses, were not served in restaurants, and went to their own schools from kindergarten through university. That’s the way it was . . . sad to say. Black soldiers returning in 1945 from fighting in World War II did not want to resume living in a seg...

Sunday, August 28, 2011. Summer Heat and Common Sense. Mom and Dad slept on daybeds on the sunporch, sometimes on the floor itself, hoping for a breeze through the windows. Our two electric floor fans were reserved for Grandma and Grandpa in their bedroom so that they would be comfortable. 8221; We left it to her to squeeze the lemons for lemonade or brew tea for iced tea at supper. A favorite cool place was the Capitol, only four blocks away. The walls of the Capitol are made of massive limestone bl...

http://munichburgmemories.blogspot.com/2013/07/nits-and-lice-and-cooties.html
Sunday, July 21, 2013. Nits and Lice and Cooties. My father was a barber, so I learned about head lice very early. Here’s how it happened. While my family sat at the supper table eating, we always talked about what happened during the day. One evening while eating, Dad related that while he was cutting a man’s hair that day, he discovered lice on his scalp. Dad, holding his fork in his hand, pointed to the back of his head to show exactly where. Mom interrupted, “Oh, Walter! Made her annual visit to Broa...
