Hey Ponce Guy, I saw that book on my last trip to SAV w/ fam-Loved the browse- but, in the middle of downpour so did not go out to retrieve purse to purchase- Family member who is retired from Corps of Engineers remembered UNfondly having to survey Nancy Creek in the (?) early '70s. He said the folks were 'not friendly.' He is a 3rd generation Atlantan of the Ansley Park stripe, so the people must have been emptying slop jars on him to elicit that much comment. Can't wait to get the book-Thanks for reminding me! Come visit the Southside at http://southsideatlantamemories.typepad.com or take a vacation in Panama City FL at wmbb.com>blogs>cracker cat.
Interesting blog! I remember Ponce de Leon Ball Park well from riding the trolley there from Decatur as a kid. The park across the street was before my time, but I've read about it.
I've linked to you from Decatur-DeKalb.com.
Our end of Ponce is not nearly as interesting.
