Anyone remember there used to be a Winn Dixie on Person St?

And how about Hayes-Barton pool? I lived a few houses from it and us kids would always walk there to swim. No parents needed to watch over kids back then, we stayed there all day. I remember when I was around 10 I was so scared of the high dive but wanted to jump off it. I was 12 or 13 before I got the courage up to do it. It seemed high as a mountain lol

My mom said she taught me to swim there in the kiddie pool when I was in diapers, but I was too young to remember it.

I can't believe my thread is 5 years old and still going strong.

Anyone remember the name of the drive-inn movie at the corner Maynard and Hillsborough Rd.? The Chatham maybe?

Just up the highway from the Plantation Inn and down the hill from the Cloth Barn buildings was Charlie Brown's, at Gresham's Lake (a mere pond now, a small lake then, with a park opposite Charlie Brown's). I met my wife of 45 years in the parking lot there. Decent steak, dancing; went there only once...lad14a

I remember Hayes-Barton pool well. I learned to swim there. I think my knees are still all cut up from that concrete on the bottom of the thing.

Does anyone remember the name of that pizza place that was directly across the street from that "old" K-mart on Six Forks Rd and Wake Forest Rd. in the 1970's? I think it was the first place I ever had a pizza.

I love this thread! I'm remembering so much ancient knowledge..

I remember when the Angus Barn was the height of food excellence in Raleigh. I was never allowed to go, but I've always wanted to go. In the intervening years, I've probably eaten at some of the best restaurants in San Francisco and New York, but the Angus Barn seems like an unobtainable goal.
