HEMLOCK,good Old River street has change'd alot since the (60's).Most of the Merchant & Cotton Warehouses had become Vacant & realy Run down back then.Chatham County Historical Soceity got together with some BIG $ People and started Re-Building Her,took Years to get the look You see now.When I was young,We didn't go to the River much because there wasn't anything to do or see on River Street.If We wanted to get outta the Swamp Grass,We would go to Tybee Island or to Kings Ferry on (17) & Swim with the Baby Gators.Years ago when My first Wife moved from Texas to Savannah with Me,We went to Lebanon Plantation on a walking Tour.this Older Lady was telling Her Children that there were no Cars or Bikes in the 1800's,she was talking about walking the Entrance Driveway to the Main House...it's (2.8) Miles long.I had the hardest time convineing Her that in the 1800's this Driveway did not Exsist at all!Alot of Slave Plantation's did have a Main Entrance,but this place never did until about the 1930's.Most of the structures face'd the Intercoastal Water ways or swamps..I told the Lady thats why when You Enter the Main Grand Driveway,You're Looking at the back of the Big House....She clearly was not from the South...Dam I miss HOME~~~~~5th is better than 6th HEMMY...:cool:
