Hey Jerry. This is Kyle. I was snooping around and found you. I will try and contact you on FB. Have a good day.
I have a copy of Matchsticks. The title poem was alway one of my favorites.
Woohoo! I'm famous now😁 Not to mention that Abby is named aftwr Hogie😉😊
Thank you. As a 4or 5 year old, I lived at the corner of Lafayette, and that street that runs between the post office and Colliers. I think it's an atty. office now. I went to a preschool on a street over. I would stop at the Pritchard house every day on the way home.
Thanks. I believe the street you mean is St. Charles there between the P.O. and Collier's.
Did you say that the arcade entrance where you went down to Brass Monkey has been vacant since 2005? Man, that’s a long time!
Yes. My understanding is that the owner is simply letting it sit there and decay rather than renovate or raze it.
Thank you for this info!
I remember riding on a city bus to the square with my Mom wanted to shop at the Darling Shop. I was about 5 or 6.
I've just discovered this series and it's like reading a great book where you binge it all in one night. These are very entertaining and very informative videos, and I'm delighted to learn this much about Fayetteville's history. Thank you for making them and thank you for not stopping after the first five. I'm recommending them to my history-loving friends.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
WOW!!! I love this video. You are a fantastic Fayetteville story teller, J.B.! I grew up in Fayetteville (FHS '65 and UA '70) and still proudly call it my hometown. It is a great to have a resource like you show us why the town of Fayetteville should be appreciated for its rich history.
Thank you.
Great video Jerry. And I love my book
Thank you, Conrad, I appreciate that and I'm glad you're enjoying the book. Thanks for all the hilarious shots at my age, tickles me to death! I think we have me all the way back to the Civil War, so next stop: War of 1812 and then, oh, no, the American Revolution!!! I won't just be a Son of the American Revolution, I'll actually be a veteran of it!
I was born and raised in Fayetteville. Moved away in 2011 to Salem, Oregon. I remember my friend lived in the big white brick house inside the National Cemetery
I believe the original Leroy Pond street was over near the old Carlson Terrace/Walton Arena area, which was renamed Nolan Richardson Drive... and Leroy Pond street name was then moved to near the National Cemetery.
That is correct. I may not have made that clear enough in the video.
Thanks for your videos sir. We miss fayettville but we can't afford to rent a house there anymore.
Thank you. And it's getting more expensive here by the day.
The Attic is still run by volunteers and supports nursing students. I am confident that it is still under the Hospital Auxiliary.
Thank you very much.
I worked there as a CNA from 1975 - 1979. My brother in law was born there.
Excellent. I suspected a lot of people in town would have specific memories of the hospital - although I think you worked in the newer building, right?
I always enjoy about the history of the town that has been my home for almost 60 years. I remember the old timers referring to Rock Street, between Mill Ave. and S College Ave, as "Town Hill."
Thank you, these have been wonderful and quite interesting. You are doing a great service for revealing Fayetteville history.
Thank you, Lynn.
I also enjoy your informative videos of my town's history.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Hogan. I enjoy your videos very much!
Thank you.
When was Bates Elementary built??"
1951 to replace the West Side School (now the FHS Admin. Building.
@@JBHogan thank you!
Outstanding Jerry. I know everyone of these sites. I knew about the slave cemetery, but I thought the Skelton cemetery,off Wheeler st. was older.
Steven - One thing I forgot to mention was the Rieff House (Moore's Chapel). It also dates to the early 1850s - but underwent a big renovation in the 1940s or 50s (by T. Ewing Shelton) which knocked it out of the running to be on the National Register of Historic Places.
I still can't figure out why there's no plaque on Holcomb St. in Springdale to mark the place of my birth.
I don't understand it either, Russell, and I don't think we should put up with that kind of oversight. I will be lodging a complaint with all the appropriate officials to rectify this terrible affront to your dignity - not to mention your reputation!!
Another great historic Fayetteville informational! Thanks Jerry!
Thank you, Chris.
Excellent work! Thanks for these great back-stories!
Thank you. I appreciate it.
I grew up catty corner of the Devers grocery store. Visited it many times and remember them making sandwiches for the garment factory workers. My mother (before the stop light was there) would stand on the porch of our house and watch for traffic while my little brother and I would race across the intersection to go get a candy bar. So glad it is still standing.
Thanks for sharing your memory.
You are welcome.
There so small, you'd have to go outside to change your mind.
Right on, Russell!
Great video. Thank you for the effort!
Thank you for these videos. I’ve been in the area my entire 61 years and I’m still learning about Fayetteville.
Thanks, Gary.
Great job !!
Thank you.
@@JBHogan It's funny, I went to Jefferson, my grandmother lived on 7th, so I probably walked past that marker at College and 7th several hundred times, but never really noticed.
@@ahouser53 Same here - never even noticed it.
Thanks for these informative videos about Fayetteville History, Mr. Hogan!
Thanks, Lynn.
Thanks for making this interesting video. You stated the Post office moved to Dickson St. in 1963. My best friend came to Fayetteville in 1970 and he said his first job was working construction on the post office that is at Dickson and St. Charles Ave. Was there another PO on Dickson? Or maybe he worked on an addition? Your videos are making me homesick. I left there 14 years ago but Fayetteville will always be home.
The Dickson/St. Charles P. O. was dedicated on May 19, 1963 by J. W. Fulbright. Maybe your friend worked on an addition, I don't know. There was an old P. O. substation at West and Dickson for years but it closed in '63 with the new one. The old one on the Square was used for letter sorting, as I understand it, until about 1970.
Interesting. Thanks for making this video. I lived in Fayetteville for 26 years and did not know quite a bit of this information.
Thanks, David.
I very much enjoyed your video. It covered so many high points. I hope you make more.
Thank you, Curtis. More on the way.
This is so interesting, thank you and feel free to make more😊
JB absolutely love this video! I'm hooked! Please make more!
On it!
Love the doggie
I'm interested in learning more about some of the surrounding towns, and townships of Washington County?
Another great video! Love it!
Another great video JB!
Loved it, we all butcher Latin!😉
Loved it! Please make more!
Thanks again, Ry.
I'm learning new things! And the kids absolutely are thrilled they know a UA-camr! Keep up the good work!😉
Ry - the kids might like the videos on my playlist, too. Those are the ones where I read stories for Tales from the South down in N. Little Rock.
@@JBHogan Good to know!
Loving the videos JB! I'm learning a bunch! Considering that I'm what.....a 11th generation Fayetteville Arkansan?😁
Thanks, Ry.
