Yeah - main was the drag back then. So was whatever street the wagon wheel was on. I loved Main Street and the cobblestones. Used to go watch the trains too. I bet that place has changed a lot.

Mom worked for the Katy railroad back then!! Yes, the trains!! Main street is no longer curvy. We visited Hendrix awhile back & Main st is now straight!! Im like, "What happened!?" I liked it curvy!! We used to camp out at Eisenhower or West Burns Run. Ski & take the dirt bikes!! SO FUN!! 🏞🚤🛵🏍

Born and raised. Now, I’m right across the lake. My dad and grandfather were train engineers in Denison and my mom worked at the old mall hair salon. 🙋♀️

This is CRAZY!! Mom worked for MKT RR & when BNSF bought them out she transferred to Omaha, NE. They have the BEST train museum I've ever seen!! Nice zoo, too!! #trains

It was!!! There were tracks not far from where I lived. I’d always go to one set and wait for the train. The other set of tracks, I’d play on/ride my bike across the trestle and wait for the train to pull out of dock by the mill. No one ever accused me of being bright. Wonder if that’s still there?

My dad retired from BNSF after taking a buyout from the southern Pacific Railroad. My uncles worked for the Katy and UP. I was raised in the depot in Sherman with my grandpa. Cream soda and bugles chips from the vending machine and picnic on the platform. 🤣

She’s awesome! Did you see the craziness where she was arrested for pot after she called the cops about a break in? I had just watched her perform at the WNBA all star game. Guess it happened then. I love her saying let me tell you who I am real quick. Too bad couldn’t say it to the cops
aug 11, 2025, 2:34 am • 2 1 • view
YES!! I was proud of her for turning herself in. "Yup!! It's mine, & what you gonna do abt the break-in??? MmmHmm!
aug 11, 2025, 1:22 pm • 2 0 • view
Yeah - now just why were the cops more focused on the pot instead of the break in? Don’t get me started…

You’re too funny! I bought my pickup from a young guy. He didn’t tell me it had mufflers on it to wake the dead. He also had a skull Sticker on the back. I left it. And giggle at the looks I get when they see who is driving it.

I love it!!!! Who knew??? My fav trio: Ann, Molly, Liz. I would have loved being a fly on the wall when those 3 got together. Ann had such a mouth that could make a sailor blush and I loved it.

Me too. But the granddaughter Lily is active in politics too. I remember Ann bringing her to the Lady Longhorn basketball games when she was like 4 or 5. Watched her grow up there. What an amazing young woman - but who would expect anything less being related to Ann?

Awe yes!! The glorious river!! SO FUN!! I can recall sleeping in pickup bed. Mom insisted we sleep in the tent while mom & dad slept outside in the fresh air, under the willows. Dad became an auctioneer & finally came home w a popup camper. I thought we were rich!! SMDH!! 😂

I would have lived a real tent! Mine was a sheet tossed over tree branches but my dad wouldn’t let me sleep order it. But I loved the truck bed. Do you remember the old ice boxed where you had to put a block of ice in it? That’s what we had on the River bottom.

Oh, YES! My g-ma had 1!! Her sewing machine had a pedal to make it run, too!! My dad was considered a change of life baby, so his mom was abit older than my mom's.

I remember those sewing machines! My GM had one of those ice boxes. I don’t know how it worked cuz she refused electricity until my mom made her get it. She still never turned a light on. At the River, there was a big, black bumpy snake under the box that chased my dad. It was funny. Not to my mom

Such great memories! Is the train depot still there? I used to hide behind those big poles until I heard a train coming. There was an elderly man there who would give me M&M’s. Innocent days. Lol - there was a bank w revolving doors- my fav toy. Drove them nuts but so much fun! Sad about main st!!!!
aug 9, 2025, 7:36 pm • 1 0 • view
Oh yes, revolving doors!! When we came to Dallas I LOVED those doors!! Im not sure. We went up 75N & took a R on Main St. I was so surprised abt the changing the streets, that's all I yammered abt!! 🤪🤪🤪

Why did they make those changes? Main Street is what gave uptown (as my dad called it) it’s charm. I know Kress has prob been long gone.

Awwww - thanks for the sticker. Ditto! I left Dallas almost as soon I walked offstage from my hs graduation. Started college the next day. The class had a bon fire for students to burn stuff from hs like notes, etc. Not me. 2 bags of dresses, skirts, hose, and dang garter belt! Remember those?
