Check out those shoes on Elvis!

So this store opened in 1954, the year I was born.

My three strongest memories of Mempho from when I was little and visiting, besides my grandmother’s neighborhood, were Katz, the Purina mills (I can still smell them), and the bridge over the Mississippi.

As I got older (high school and beyond), add in the UP Bank’s revolving restaurant, the Nineteenth Century Club (this was a thang), and Isaac Hayes living several blocks away from my mother’s neighborhood, which was really, really, really, really white, lol. (They are a bit more woke now, but not much.)

Thanks for posting this!

Had to google the Nineteenth Century Club, a womens club. Black Moses lived on Shady Grove near the I240 overpass in the 70’s. Area was all white & had a lot of Jewish people. If that’s the area your mother lived in, could see the concerns with that “black boy” :eek: moving in the neighborhood.

June 1965, local band The Gentry’s from Treadwell High School caught fire with the song Keep on Dancing. Larry Raspberry (larry raspberry and the highsteppers) & Jimmy Hart (wrestling) were the 2 most notables in the band. Jerry Lawyer went to high school with these guys but wasn’t in the group.

How about I hop to putting a foot up your azz, and call it a day? Besides, you probably wouldn’t want to know about the “special seasoning” I’d add.
