Frank Hardy Made My Photographs Two

This panorama shows the corner of 12th Avenue and Gonzalez  Street around 1956 or so … not sure about the exact date as usual.  You can see all of the kids milling around because Clubbs Junior High School had just let out.  Clubbs was located just two blocks of this intersection.  Since this was the only area around that had any stores. all the kids headed in this direction so they could go to the Shaw’s Drug Store, Friendly Service, Winn-Dixie or Ginn’s Restaurant.  You can see that 12th Avenue was still paved with bricks and I can remember that fairly well.  Anyone have any comments about this time in their lives, please feel free to comment … who knows, that might be you standing on that corner?  Thanks for looking … Frank

PS – I was too young in this photo … I did not get to Junior High until 1965 and I went to Workman, since we lived in Cordova Park.  I had friends that went to Clubbs and they used to talk about this, but personally I never did.
