Now there was more than one woman up there with one eye...
The drunk and the train:
I heard a rather interesting, yet tragic story, about the D'Timms building's past inhabitants. A few years back, the place had been occupied by the homeless. The building is located on 6th street, 6th street has an active railway right down the middle of it. One of the drunks stumbled out of the building and was run over and killed by a really slow moving train.
Ol'Sarge:
There was an old veteran named Sarge who lived in the top floor. Anyone who drank beer was welcome to visit Ol'Sarge; more than one one-eyed women hung out with Sarge. I've heard Sarge would fall asleep with a beer in his hand and wake up the next morning and finish the beer right where he left off. Sarge died in a fire that was attributed to his lit cigarette.
Hank took drunk yesterday:
Now this is a new southern expression on me, Hank told me that he took drunk yesterday. Now that is a cool expression; it's like there I was minding my own business and suddenly I took drunk.
The Christian Market:
Francis Christian has a great old house in Olde Town. His family has lived there since 53. Old Town properties have the richest soil in the region. This is a geographical blessing due to the fact that the coastal plain starts about 3 miles North. Francis has an awesome garden, his tomatoes are 8 feet tall. You enter the garden from the open gate on the Broad Street side of the property. This is by design as everyone is welcome to help themselves. Robin invited Renee to go with her to the Christian Market. She was surprised when they arrived at Francis' house to pick fresh produce in the Christian Market.
Now that is how fingers should smell:
Francis has the most abundant herb garden I have ever seen. The best way to experience this garden is to grab each variety, squeeze, then smell your fingers; aaah sent of a perennial.
