| My high school...and I went to Hopkinsville Middle which was right next door (it is currently serving as an elementary school) |
 |
| My great grandmother "Mom" lived here...I spent many nights here. I would play outside and sometimes we would have a picnic in the breezeway area at the picnic tables. I LOVED going to Mom's apartment. She always had Nu Grape soda and Mars candy bars. She also made the best scrambled eggs. Mom would always play games with me like the game Memory. We would watch TV together...The Andy Griffith Show, Dennis the Menace, The Price is Right, Lassie, and Mister Ed were some of our favorites. This was one of my fav places to come growing up! |

| My childhood home...I lived here until I was 15. We used to have two big trees in the front yard that I played in. Both are cut down now. But this home holds so many special memories...412 E Parkview We lived near an appliance store. Often, I would go looking in the alley for big appliance boxes. I would carry them home and use them outside and in the trees to make forts. I had to best time playing outside! |
 |
| This Minut Mart...I would walk here all the time as a child and would bring change to buy candy...Atomic Balls, Lemon Heads, Fun Dip, and Nerds were at the top of my list each trip. |
 |
| The Train Track...we lived near this track and I loved hearing the train. I spent many days setting pennies on the track waiting for the train to come and then looking for the pennies to see if any got flattenend. I would also cross the track to walk to Kroger, KMart, and the mall area. I would be gone all day. |
Hopkinsville will always hold a special place in my heart and will always feel like home when I am there. This is just a small snippet of my life gorowing up there.
