One of My Favorite Days of The Week!

One of my favorite days of the week is Thursday!!  I am saying that Thursday is one of my favorite days of the week is simply because I was born on a Thursday Evening at 7:30PM.  My mother and grandparents told me a whole lot about Dayton, Ohio during the 1960s.  Dayton, Ohio was a very popular city during the 1960s and 1970s. 

This is a photo of Dayton, Ohio’s Skyline during the 1960s.  This picture was taken on Riverview Avenue adjacent to the Great Miami River.  The buildings that stood erect during that time was the YMCA which is still located on Monument Avenue in between Main Street and Ludlow Street.  

Some of the buildings what were standing that I can remember from the time that I was a child was Kettering Towers and The Dayton Arcade.  Other buildings in the Downtown Dayton, Ohio Area were Skate Land Skating Rink which was located on Wilkinson Street and Ludlow Street.  The Salvation Army Recreation Center was around during that time as well.  I do recall Rike’s Department Store and Elder Beerman’s Department Store, and I do remember Wilkies Book Store and McCrory’s Department Store as well.

This is a picture of Main Street in Downtown Dayton, Ohio in the 1960 as well.  The Biltmore Hotel was open for customers and there were other venues that were available in the Downtown Area as well.  Anyway, I am very sorry for going off on a tangent, it is that I was always excited to go to the downtown venues when I was a child. 

Moreover, I want everyone to know that I will always remember the past because things were quite interesting to me.  I had spent a great deal of my time with my grandparents whose house is located on the Lower West Side of Dayton, Ohio.  I do remember spending time with all of my family members.  I know that I am losing my memory, but at least, I remember over 75% of the events and people who I was around during the 1960s and 1970s. 

The day that I was born will always be one of my favorite days of the week.  At least, I remember attending church with my great grandmother from the time that I came into existence all the way to the time that I lived with my mother and my siblings, and her husband on West Third Street and other areas in the West Dayton Area.  The day that I was born will always be very important to me. 

Finally, I want to inform all of you that I am losing my memory at the moment.  I know that this is something that I will have to deal with for the rest of my life.  I am asking all of you to please bear with me! I always remember more of my past than I do in the present.  I remember a lot of the things presently, it is that; the things of old appealed more to me than they do today.

It is that Planet Earth will no longer exist, but according to 2^nd Peter 3^rd Chapter there will be a New Heaven and a New Earth.  The old will no longer exist, but a new way of life is forthcoming for all of us.  I do remember St. Elizabeth Medical Center.  It is the hospital that I was born on Thursday June 24, 1965 at 7:30PM.

 My mother and grandparents always read books to me as well as the Bible; so that I would not forget about it.  Proverbs 22:6 says: Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
