The Best Time in Anderson or In Your Life

[For Heavensake]

My best time in Anderson was when i was dating Mike B. I will NEVER get him out of my head or my heart. The love i have for him is forever and will never fully go away. I miss him daily and long to hear his voice. I pray daily for him to call and say how much he misses me and wants me back!  I need to know if he is truely happy now or not.

So, now back to our scheduled program.......

Are there hills in Anderson to speak of? Everyone talks about going up some hill to a cemetary, and I was just wondering. It seems like there are some hills out by Grandview Country Club.

Speaking of hills.......because our lakes were dug out gravel pits, the hills were formed from the digging, and most of it was shale. I was a brave girl in those days. I used to climb up those hills, while the shale fell away at my feet, then surf down them, trying to run ahead of the shale slipping, but usually used it to surf all the way down the hill. Now that was some fun!

GG: Too bad that sport never caught on; we might have had a couple more Frankie and Annette movies to watch!  "Hey gang...shale's up!"

Remember Kauffman's which was where Strock's moved to?  I worked there for a year and was there when they went out of business.  There was also Moser's in Edgewood and and there was another small one on 38th and Main that I can't remember the name of. 
One business I really miss is Seybert's electronics.

it was Meadowbrooke Hardware...ironicly enough, I happened to work in Meadowbrooke AND Stricklers Hardware right after High School.....I was a manager of Meadowbrook for about a year....THEN came along Furrows and pretty much shut us down.
I loved my time working in both....especially in Stricklers, I learned so much by working there.

Henry: That struck a chord! Don't know what time period you worked there, but as a kid growing up in Meadowbrook, I spent a lot of time (and my allowance money) in that great hardware store; at the time, it was known as Baldwin's Hardware. Site of one of the first "big" purchases of my life: a fishing rod I saved for, and did odd jobs to raise extra cash. Guess now I could apply for stimulus money to buy a new one.

I did not work there until AFTER baldwins sold it...back in the mid 80's......but, it is fun the think back of some of the neat things that Anderson USED to have.
