My best friend Kelly lived here in the eighties. We spent lots of days listening to music, making mixed tapes and being unruly teens. Bittersweet memories as My friend died in an accident and my last times in this house ware waiting for his parents to get home from a trip and having to tell them what happened. Every time I ride by there i am flooded with the memories of the great times we had being kids the horrible memory of his mother screaming in despair on the front walk way.
My Uncle lived here around 1980 s . then my best friend Kelly and his family early to mid-eighties. lots of time spent here listening to music and being unruly teens. Back then there was a pool on the right side that has since been filled in. We had some great times in the house and yes, we all thought it was haunted because it was….. Unfortunately, My Friend got killed in an accident and my last memory of it was sitting in his room with a few others waiting for his parents to get home. They had been gone out of town, and we had to tell them what happened when they got home. Bittersweet memories of this house.
Brian, nice work in Dawson…!!
