I am not sure if I believe in ghost but, you never know. Adorable photo of Scootie!

One of them will be graduating from High School this month. I remember when she was just born...time does fly! Their mother sends photos of them across frequently, and they have really grown. I enjoy seeing how they are growing up. Have a great week! ♥ Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12383039383765299104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840444083467497053.post-41132225108561631402017-05-16T17:24:45.056-05:002017-05-16T17:24:45.056-05:00It's lovely when changes are for the good, sa...It's lovely when changes are for the good, sad when shops (or homes)are boarded up. <br />So nice your dear grandson can enjoy time with you like that. Ah yes, the growing up takes over, then again it can be so lovely seeing them develop into young people with their own opinions etc. We have such interesting chats with our own dear granddaughters as they work their way through life.<br />Cheerio for now, have a good week.

I'm so glad you enjoyed my post. I h...Hi Sue. I'm so glad you enjoyed my post. I have always had an interest in some of the history in many downtown areas, and especially my downtown area. I didn't live in this town in the early 1970's, but friends would bring me here to walk around. Shops were boarded up, but there were still some bars open for night life. So there have been quite a lot of changes made over the years. Now I am more able to spend a bit of time browsing and looking at all the changes. There are some great places to eat also!<br /><br />My little grandson has enjoyed spending some time downtown with me, we went to an art fair last month and he had a corny dog! It was so cold that day, we didn't stay very long. I'm afraid he is starting to grow out of his "Scootie" nickname, and I will have to be careful not to say it in front of other people. He's growing up!<br /><br />I really love the Chisholm Trail mural, and there are more art pieces to enjoy downtown. Thank you very much for stopping by, I hope you are getting some rest and feeling better. I appreciate your wonderful comments, and your friendship these past years. I'm sending hugs your way and wishes for a joyful Mother's Day! xxooSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12383039383765299104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840444083467497053.post-21889528060887527252017-05-12T18:30:20.501-05:002017-05-12T18:30:20.501-05:00Hello Suzanne, oh I'm so sorry in my late comm...Hello Suzanne, oh I'm so sorry in my late comment. I'd read your post when I was tired and intended to pop back the next day ... well, here we are, a few days on!<br />Thank you too for showing the magnificent work of Richard Haas on the Boston <br />First of all, I think that mural is fantastic. It must be the subject of so many photographs - what a great work of art, and for all to see. That's what I love about public art, it gives joy to many.<br />So interesting to read about the history of the Jett Building and, as always, your research does you proud. I always admire municipalities (or communities) who preserve the older buildings through the years.<br />Thank you too for sharing the work of Richard Haas on the Boston Architectural Center - just brilliant and so inspiring!<br />Scootie is such a cutie pie, that's a gorgeous photo.<br /> <br />Cheerio for now and have a lovely weekend, and a wonderful Mother's Day.

Some of those ladies really deserved more recognition than they have gotten! I know the competition out there is rough even today. I'm betting, though, that over the years, the disappointments have transitioned into feelings of self satisfaction for their efforts, and, I am sure there are no regrets for these ladies. I am honored that you enjoyed my comment. Thank you so much!<br /><br />One of the best things about not working downtown anymore, is that I get to spend more time enjoying the colorful hustle and bustle there. I live only six miles from downtown, so I'm planning on more frequent visits. The building I worked in is the silver looking skyscraper directly behind and to the right of the Jett building. And, Scootie is now getting good about remembering some of the shops and the Plaza with the fountains. I love the Chisholm Trail mural! To the left of the building west of the Plaza is a tremendous stage where musical guests perform on many occasions, and, during the summer there have been jazz concerts on Sunday afternoons. I am hoping to attend a few of them this summer.<br /><br />I am glad I did some research into this building...I love a mystery, and, was so surprised to find a bit of dark history here! Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp are also said to have spent some time in Sundance Square also. <br /><br />Well, Shady, I'm so glad you enjoyed this post! I just had to share some of the beauty and fun an old downtown can offer. I am hoping to dive into another old eyesore again. I happen to know of a couple of old "Main Street type Grills" that used to exist downtown with gigantic, greasy hamburgers and fries! I got to eat there once in the late 1980's, and alas, it's gone now! Another time, eh?<br /><br />Thank you again, dear friend for your kind comments! Take care, see you soon! ♫<br /><br /> Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12383039383765299104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840444083467497053.post-63433514233457706852017-05-09T15:00:48.577-05:002017-05-09T15:00:48.577-05:00Hi, Suzanne!

It's simply wonderful to have a friend like you. :)<br /><br />Second, I have had several Texas friends over the years, but none of them ever posted about the Jett Building, Sundance Square or that amazing mural depicting the post-Civil War Chisholm Trail used to drive cattle overland from ranches in the Lone Star State to railheads in Kansas. What Fort Worth did there should serve as an example to other cities suffering from urban blight with aging buildings in their downtown districts. A giant work of art strategically placed on the side of a building can work magic and revitalize the area, especially if a courtyard and seating area are provided as is the case in Sundance Square.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading the rich and colorful history of the Jett Building and its myriad occupants and uses over the years. It reminds me of the Shady Dell which supposedly operated as a speakeasy at one point. It seems like most of the ghostly encounters in the Jett Building are linked to the women who worked in the upstairs brothel way back when. :) I can understand why Sundance Square is a magnet for visitors, locals and new businesses, and I can tell by the look on Scootie's face that he had a great time with you there.<br /><br />Thank you very much for a delightfully interesting post, dear friend Suzanne. Enjoy the rest of your week and have a happy Mother's Day!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
