This is probably how many small US cities main streets looked in the 50's and
before urban sprawl as you will see as you scroll thourgh the pages about Greenville,
Greenville was no exception.
The low profile buildings were only about 1 to 4 stories high in earlier years.
These Moments To Remember
Those that remember the fifties know what a time that was. At night you
slept with the doors unlock and windows open. When someone said you were
gay, it just meant you were happy. A young girl could walk to the movies
blocks from home and be in no danger. The gas was 25 cents per gallon but
the price didn't matter, most people didn't have a car. You walked where
you had to go.
No one had ever heard of fat free food. That was fine because I didn't know
anyone that was fat. Maybe walking where you had to go helped a lot. Oh yes
another thing that kept us slim was dancing, and we did dance.
What a great time it was......Thanks to all who made it happen.
Washington Avenue is on the left and thats Main Street in the center of the picture.
This picture was sent in by Robert Ragno and was taken by a pilot he had ask to
take for him in or around 1956/1957.
Washington Avenue as it looked in 1956. Picture taken from the (SW?) end of Washington Ave. from the levee.

The Story behind the World War II Memorial at the end of Washington Avenue, Greenville Mississippi
The next time you find yourself at the end of Greenville’s serpentine
Washington Avenue – take a good look at the memorial that stands there honoring
those who fought for America – the memorial was sponsored by Frank Koestler
through Rotary International and Hermann Werbeck set the tile in the monument.
"He was very proud of that – it was one of the things he was most proud of that
he ever did", said Detlev. It was a privilege for him to have a part in
something that honors American’s fallen heroes and the country that became his
home and gave his family a new start.

Memories still linger from so many, many years ago. It was a Coming of Age for many of
"The Greenville Airmen"
Most of the Memories revolve around the city of Greenville, and all the things to do, Like
"Mink's Supper Club", on hwy 82 east, Dance all night, and BYOB.
Mink's usually had a band playing. If you remember one of the bands were
"The Burt Taggart Band".
They were from Greenville and could play any type of music, but mostly played the slow dance music.
The most popular tunes people requested back in those days,
were "Stardust", "Sentimental Journey" and "Can’t Get Started With You"
This is a picture of that band."The Burt Taggart Band", not sure of the circa date.
"The Burt Taggart Band".
How about
"Lillo's Supper Club",
Itialian Food and slow dance on the Dim Lit Dance Area.
Lillo's Supper Club is still open at the same location in Leland.
"The Tradition Continues"
As most of you know by now, or may have known all along, "Labella's Restaurant"
in Indianola and that famous Hamburger they had, well it's available again.
Thanks to the original owner and her daughter they figured out how to make
the sauce that made that hamburger so good. I don't know if any of you realize
this but, The original "Labella Hamburger" is on the menu at Lillo's now in Greenville,
It may have been on the menu for sometime now.
Also the
"American Legion" on hwy #1, which was BYOB as well.
Of course there were many more. Unable to recaall the many other places that have closed.
Maybe in time they will be remembered, or someone will bring them to my attention.
= Drive-Inn Restaurants of Greenville =
Don't forget
"Buleah's Drive In", Car Hop's and
Hamburgers with slaw and chili, on hiway 82 East,
"Fieldings Drive In" corner of Main and Edison, Hamburgers,
Hot Dogs, Juke Box and a variety of sandwiches, Milk Shakes, etc.....
I have not received any stories about "Fieldings Drive Inn", the one we mostly patronized in the 50's....
Later on Feildings would be either torn down or renovated around the end
of the 50's.
"Strazi's Drive-Inn" was opened at the same location.
The service and menu were very similar.
The best information I can understand is Strazi's was built sometime after the 60's and
was not patronized by many of the Greenville Airmen.
It became a hangout for many of the local teens.
Below are two stories from those days.
Many of the other "Drive-Inn's" closed soon after the Air Base closed, as well as other nostalgic places.
So sad indeed...................
This observation as seen by John Walker,
Publisher/Editor of The Daily News, Bogalusa, La.
during the 60's.
Strazi's had some decent food. Strazi's was Greenville's version of Arnold's, from
Happy Days, while Dan's (yes, also on Hwy 82) was where the "greasers" — or those the
so-called cool kids (I was neither) thought were greasers ... hung out.
This observation was sent in by: Jim Veal, a previous Greenvillian.
The truth about Strazi's is that it was just a beer joint, but it was the only place
we had to go and it was a focal point of activity and teen drama.
I have many fond memories of the place.
But it was just a beer joint, however lofty a perch it might attain in the minds and
memories of all of us that littered the parking lot with our brain cells scatterred among the
Pabst cans. People drank there, got in their cars and died.
Young lives senselessly lost.
This mythology of Strazi's, of which I am a willing participant, is the reverse of Julius Caesar,
the good living on, the evil often interred within the bones of memory.
I was one of the lucky ones who only have fun memories of that place.
But those memories have a dark edge. One I don't like thinking about.
No one does.
Browns Delish Shoppe was around the corner and down a block from Strazie's, on Main and Harvey Street.
This advertisment for the "Brown's Delish Shoope" and the "Dariryette"
was published in the Base Paper, "Delta Jet Roar" on the 13 of November, 1957
Thanks to Dave and Shirly Rowe for the input.
(I may be mistaken, but I believe there was one more Drive-inn out on Hiway 82...)
This just in.....Thanks to James Moore, The other Drive Inn was
"Dan's Drive Inn" on Hwy 82, east of Hwy #1.Car Hop's
Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Juke Box and a variety of sandwiches, Milk Shakes, etc.
(I beleive this is the one with a dirt parking area.)
Many of the guy's lucky enough to own a car would pull in, sit and wait till the girls got off
work, and if you were lucky enough, you might get to take one of them for a ride.
And I recall how some of the guys would drive through the drive-in showing off the latest addition to their hot rod and their latest girl friend. Girls wanted a ride in the
latest "best looking" and "hottest" cars. Some with Engines grumbling, loud exhaust,
rear or front ends lowered, bright colors.
(remember "Candy Apple Red"?)
. I don't have any information about the surrounding cities and towns, like Lealand, Indianlola,
Greenwood, Lake Village, Ark.,etc; and many more that the Greenville Airmen patronized for thier own reasons.
If anyone has some stories about any of the surrounding cities, send them in and lets
add them to our memory list
Roller Skating Rink
 |
|
Highway 82 East, Greenville, Mississippi, 1950's
Skating Rink Owners Mr. & Mrs Moore
Alberta Hiller, Floor Manager..(on the left)...I can still hear her, "All Skate" or Ladies Choice". I'm sure theres more, (My memory you know) But don't forget, when the lights
went dim, "Couples Only". And that is little 4 year old Marriah Moore on the Right,
Marriah is the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Moore's ..
The ticket was issued when you bought your first pass to skate and
it was punched for each session you bought until it was full and you
got a free session. They had a session every night of the week and
afternoon and evening session on Saturday and a Sunday afternoon session.
*******************************************************************************
the pictures and information of some past history of Greenville to us to
be be posted on our web-site
Shirley Rowe is the daughter of Louis & Frances Moore
= Jim's Cafe =
(As it appears today...0CT. 2002)
Jim's Cafe was (and still is) located a block east of the Lake Theater location. The Lake
Theater was torn down to make way for the Downtowner Motel (also torn down) and is now
a part of the Fairfield Inn property.
Jim's Cafe, was wildly patronized by almost all of the Greenville Airmen at one time or
another, located downtown on Washington Avenue.
And the "Cafe" is still there.
Shirley Grubb reminded me of some of the things we did at Jim's Cafe, that drove the waitress crazy.
I remember pulling one end of the covering off a straw, and wetting the other end and blowing it
towards the ceiling to make it stick to the ceiling.
We would also roll up little ball's of paper,
( we would call them "Spit Ball's" )
and blow them thourgh a straw as well.
Another one was to put a napkin over a glass of water and quickly turning it over to allow the
suction to create a vacuum to hold the water in and sit it down on the table, then tear the napkin
off as close as we could and leave it there for the waitress to figure out how to
remove the glass without spilling the water.
I still feel bad about those things.
We used to slap others with that "Spit Ball", when they weren't looking.
Jims Cafe was one of the best places to go when we were in Greenville. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson
were very good to us, however, they would let you know in a minute if you got out of line.
Some of us went back to visit the old Hangout when we were invited
to hold our reunion in Greenville. Myself and a few others tried to rekindle, what we thought
was a lasting friendly relationship with the Family and Son, and now owner, Gus Johnson.
His parents will always be in our Hearts as some of the nicest people we knew when stationed In Greenville
= Bars and Beer Joints =
And of course the "Dive's", Bars and Beer Joints that were located all around Greenville.
A few of them were "Off Limit's" most of the time to us Greenville Airmen....
Me and a couple of my buddies, would drop by "The Airline Inn" at times just to start trouble.
I was at the NCO Club at Torrjon, Spain in 1969, and had a small problem with someone and
was ejected from the Club. After a few days I was allowed to return, and someone ask me about the
small problem the other day and before I could answer, someone said "It don't surprise
me, him and his hoods used to come into The Airline Inn at Greenville and start something and before we
could locate who started it, he was gone. (I thought everyone had forgotten about that.)
He was the owner and a TSgt, Stationed at Greenville, and worked, I think in the 08th Hanger PE.
And yes, it was "Off Limits" at the time.
= How about the good parking places =
like the levee, all the way to Moon Lake, Old roads near Winterville, and the back roads near the base. and let's not forget the
"Haunted House" Yeah, I remember........Thanks Luv
There were a lot of beautiful girls in Greenville and the surounding town,(and still there,).
You could see some of the guy's with cars Draging Washington Ave. and Main Street
with hopes that special lady would be attracted and ride with them for awhile,
Or you just sit in the Cafe's and hang-out with the rest of the guys, untill
its time to head for the base and get ready for another wonderful day at Greenville Air Force Base.
Lets not forget the"Drive In Movie Theaters"
of the 50's
There were three different Drive-In Movies in Greenville, Mississippi, when we were
there in the early 50's. one was called
"The Joy".
It was located on the corner of Hwy 82 and Beauchamp Street. It remained
there until the late 60's and was bought by
"National Showtown U.S.A. Chain".
The Joy was torn down and was reopened as
"Showtown USA"
The Showtown was closed in 1980.
The original Showtown sign is now located in front of the Frost Top restaurant on hwy 82.
Thanks to Dade Moore for this updated information.
The other one was called
"Anne's Drive-In",
and it was located on hwy. 82 and Colorado Street , west of Leland.
It was located where McCoy's building supply center now stands.
Both of these Drive-inn's were short lived.
Anne's Drive Inn in Leland, was owned by Hoss Noble and named for his daughter Anne
Noble, he also owned the Temple Theater in Leland.
This piece of information was sent in by,
J. Doug (Jody) Copeland
According to someones input.....
These were great places to take your date, or the whole family, the cost
was around $1.00, the most was $2.00. Was a very safe place and you could
go as you please. According to some input from members,,," "Damm they were Great" !" Al Hud writes........
I don't remember much about it. My wife and I went together with Thomas W. (Fig) Newton
(also in D Flt, 08th with me),his wife Jean and son Ricky (4 or 5) to the drive-in some.
We popped popcorn,put drinks in a cooler and headed out. We certainly couldn't afford
tickets and drinks/snacks from the concession stand. According to Jim Hatley,
"The Anne" installed large fans on the perimeter fence for cooling and hopefully to help
keep the mosquitoes away. It also had a "Go-Cart" track for awhile.
Radio Stations
There was two radio stations in Greenville at that time. Mr John T. Gibson
open WDDT AM in 1951 and was Located on Broadway Street.
WDDT Radio Station was named after the local news paper, Delta Democrat Times.
Mr. Dade Moore in now the owner of the name: WDDT.
Click here for the history of the station.
Dade Moore
The other station WJPR 1330 was on John Pepper Radio and went on the air in 1938.
Emmit McMurry (General Manager) and his business partner, Frank Baldwin (Sales Manager)
owned and operated radio station WJPR during the 50's until about 1960. At that time, the
station was located on Poplar Street, between Washington Avenue and Main Street, in
the old Washington Bank building.
Jimmy Karr bought wjpr in 1977 and changed it to 1330 wnix.
I don't have the past location of WJPR.1330, but 1330 WNIX. is located in the
Old Mainstream Mall in Greemville built in 1973
The station is still on the air today belive it or not.
Lane Tucker was the General Manager of the Radio Station,WNLA,
Indianola, Mississippi in the latter part of the50's.
Lane and Irene and my wife and I(at that time and still are) good friends. My wife worked for
him when we were there in the 50's He sent this in.....
The radio station building in Indianola reminded me of a dungeon. No windows and just one
door...no back door. I do have a lot of memories of my time there though. Do you remember
a country singer by the name of Johnny Russell ? Years after the Indianola era he became
quite well know in the country music field. At the time we were in Indianola he lived in Greenville
and was only about fifteen years old. To make a long story short, he would drive from Greenville
once a week to pick and sing on WNLA.
Later on in his career he wrote many songs for artists such as Buck Owens, Jim Reeves and later
Charlie Pride. The biggest single thing he did was "Act Naturally" which was recorded by Buck Owens and
later by the Beatles. Together they sold about eight million records of that one song.
Lane Tucker and Johnny Russell were good friends.
Johnny Russell Web-Site Johnny Russell
Johnny Russell passed away on July 3rd, 2001 at the age of 61.
He is one talent who will truly be missed.

One of the Oldest Daily News Papers In Mississippi
Wyatt Emmerich is president of the company and owns the majority of the
shares in the company. His office is in the Northside Sun building in Jackson.
The company was started by his grandfather, John Oliver Emmerich Sr. who bought
the Enterprise in McComb in 1923. It eventually became the dominant newspaper in
SW MS. He won countless professional and civic awards, as did Hodding Carter.
The Delta Star was founded by Hodding Carter in 1936.
Two years later he and his wife, Betty, bought Greenville’s other daily
newspaper, the Democrat Times, and merged the two dailies. In 1946.
Carter won the Pulitzer Prize for his editorials chronicling the Deep South’s
race relations and the treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII.
He retired as editor in 1962 and was succeeded by his son, Hodding III.
He died in 1972 at the age of 65.
The family sold the newspaper to Freedom Communications in 1980.
Emmerich Newspapers bought the paper in March, 2001.
Unlike the Emmerichs, the Carters did not expand into a chain of newspapers
across the state. However, the philosophies of the two founders were similar.
The Delta Democrat Times is owned by Emmerich Newspapers, a group of four daily
and 24 weekly newspapers operating in 16 Mississippi markets, two markets in
Louisiana and one in Arkansas. Total paid circulation is over 150,000,
of which 40,000 is daily.

Movie Theaters in the 50's
There were three theaters downtown,
"Paramount"
This is a picture of the Audience at the Paramount circa 1942
"The Paramount"
was located south corner of Broadway and Washington Ave.
"Delta" Later named the "Ritz"
located on the same side of Washington Ave. close to the Levee.(cheap and kindy yucky)
Lake"
Not sure but the date of this picture of the "Lake Theater" may be around 1947 or 1948 .
The marquee top line list "Greer Garson", the bottom line is "Desire Me"
The other side on the marquee might have listed "Robert Mitchum", as the Stars of that Movie.
"Desire Me" was released 31 Octomber, 1947.
Cast - Greer Garson, Robert Mitchum, Richard Hart.
Synopsis: A woman is told that her husband has died in a concentration camp.
She eventually marries the man who told her the news, but it turns out that
her husband is still alive and her new husband is a psychotic.
Thanks to Gary for some of this Infor.
It's Located on the same block as "Jim's" Cafe and the same side on Washington Ave.
There were also two theaters that served the black community during the 50's:
The Lincoln on North Street and the Harlem on Nelson Street.
Al Hud remembered it this way.....
I remember well, Betty and I went to the "Paramount" Theater the night of July 28, 1956, to see the
Disney picture "The Lady and The Tramp". This was the Saturday night before our first child was
born in the GAFB Hospital on Sunday the 29th.
Cecil Oakes was on CQ in the M & S Group headquarters squadron day room. I left word at the Hospital
to be notified there and went by the snack bar to get a bite to eat. They called Cecil before I got
there and he didn't know how to contact me. We both lived through it and My wife and son were fine.
Thanks to all for your input If any of you find any mistakes or misrepresentations
in this little part of history, please advise me with the correct information,
and I will change it immediately.

I still have the reel push mower that I used in my yard on Eureka Street in
Greenville (1959-1960). A few years back my 15 year old grandson found it
hanging on the wall in the back of the shop and wanted to know what in the world
it was. I gave him a very short demonstration and let him try it. A very short
try was all he needed to convince him the engine driven "push" mowers we use
today are much better.

I remember the first "7 till 11" store that opened just west of hwy "1", and
before you got to "Washington Avenue". I thought that was a bold move at that
time, A grocery store that would be open till 11 o-clock at night! Wow!
And the original building is still there. It's now a "KWIK STOP" store.
The most Famous Restaurant in Greenville, Mississippi. = As I Remember =
At the time was the only Restaurant with a 4 Star rating.
I arrived at Greenville Air Force Base Sept. 1954 and that was the first thing I heard about.
Believe me, this is one restaurant that lives up to the hype. Located in downtown Greenville
in a mean-looking neighborhood, Doe’s could easily be mistaken as a hole-in-the-wall dive, but
one step into the restaurant and you know you’re home.
The entrance, guarded by an armed security officer, leads directly into the kitchen. On the night I visited,
Doe Signa was working feverishly over an open flame, turning and basting thick steaks, each the size of a
serving platter. According to Doe, the restaurant serves up an average of 170 pounds of beef a week.
There are three dining areas, two branch off from the kitchen, but the best spot is
at a table in the kitchen where guests soak in the whole experience and eavesdrop on
the friendly banter between the waitresses and cooks. A few of the tables in the kitchen have
a severe downward slope, so severe, in fact, knives are wedged under bowls of gumbo to keep them from spilling.
We used to go by there and pick up Hot Tamales and sometimes spaghetti.
With 2 stripes I could hardly afford the Steaks. Eventually I was able to muster enough for a one night stand.
Yes it was worth it.

Anyone remember
the parking coins for Greenville..?
Mystery solved, at least part of it,
J. Doug (Jody) Copeland sent this in,
The parking meters on Washington street in Greenville did take those coins, but the word got out
that the round loop on a drink can would work also. Greenville collected a whole lot more loops than
the coin, which if my memory serves me correctly cost a nickel.

bottles to a cardboard style container. I believe it was in 1955 or 56....There was a big advertising campaign on billboards with the caption that said... I was under the impression there was going to be some big movie stars coming to town.....It turned out to be Red and Blue stars printed allover the new container....You can probably relate to my disappointment. But that container style (although changed some) is still used today in many of the liquid and solid products on the market today. |
