In the mid 1960's about
My family and I drove through the South down Rt 301
More than once on our way to and from Florida about 8 times we did this the whole family
To visit my grandmother and grandpa kelleys home my grandfather who was a shop steward for a union and the union rule book he said to me was his Bible... in st petersburg in a pastel seashell pink colored one story home and a yellow chaise lounge and my father Paul Kinsley 'Doc' Sweeney American History teacher got my grandfather an orange tree got where maas brothers maybe where my granfather parked cars and saw or met Pete someone who played baseball...karen and I went in april and my mother said sssshe was coming too at the last minute '''''.
Florida - Spanish for flowering - is
The Sunshine State
With shimmery orange groves
And blue paradises at the white beaches.
I remember
Rt.301
And driving by the poor, unpainted shacks kind of dark brown and all the same as i remember as i am picturing them now - houses - often
With shiny cars, bright cadillacs of different colors sometimes in the yards in the front at the sides of the yards i am picturing to the right sides of the front yards
In the sun.
'Colored' it said on the bathroom door
At an old gas station. - men woman and then colored colred to the right toward the road as i remember and the gas staaation was white...
I'd never seen a sign saying colored like that before.
I was a child. (How many powder rooms does a mansion need?)
We went to a Catholic mass down a back country road off of 301
Which I hardly remember.
The congregation was Afro - American Black and i am seeing i am to the right of the main aisle but now i am looking at the left side of the aisle from the right looking up and down the pews in the center of the church and the people are black.. nicely dressed pretty. I m looking toward the middle part of the aisle but at the pews
Or mostly maybe and us, too.
Spanish moss hung from cypress and southern live oak trees. and something ssssmelled awful....in the south i loved the blue sky of North Carolina i want to say crisp...
The earth was rich, sparkling brown.
One day near sunset we saw on Rt 301 narrow 301 looking forward brown i see now to the left///
A black man all alone walking - home from work perhaps and north with out turning about as my father pulled over on the side of the road and i think my Dad who is in my heart now in a golden light in a golden light (R.I.P.) got out of the car to film the man walking..... i know my dad filmed re i saw him film and i was in the back seat and could see the man walking clearly and an amber like field to the left of 301 where the man was walking....man to the left side of the road
I sang quietly looking out the car window behind my father
At night as we rode in the dark how many times in the dark =? my mother called black people chigaboos in the front seat of car and she was in the passenger seat. no candy from her now in mind... there was a fire in the 1960s in South Carolina I believe jesus said yes.and it was a small motel with an outside corridor to the doors. My mother said she smelled the smoke inside the motel room. I was right near her and did not smell yhe smoke. We got out. and when we were out the entire roof was ablaze i looked and saw and it was a very big fire the whole roof over the rooms. The owner did not tell anyone there was a fire. We got out on our own. My father and another guy there went from door to door knocking and banging on doors and yelling fire and the people came out and got out yhat way and that way only..... The owner not there to say there is a fire. One door would not open. NO one came to the door to get out even though as i remember of course i would think fire was being called... I dint remmber just that the two guys were trying to get the people out - one being my father. finally the door had to be knocked in = shouldered and to my recollection my father shouldered the door.. The fire truck ran out of water and had tp take water out of the pool i was told. It was the 60's and the man who turned out was there and didnot come out was black... i am picturing black and i had to have been out and piccturing not by the car at that time and i remember seeing peolr and the man was young on the other side of the door maybe i am just picturing that seenig the man inside the room and that is where i am pictuing the man was insssin side the room and i am seeing a golden light.. I am martin Luther King the man said to say+++ that came out Fire.........we had a Light tan rambler stattion wagon... we were off of rt 301 i believe west drk by the road facing west. i can picture down a side road and i is night now, The next thing is dressed.... i rememberwre New Jersey. it is night going east. in about 2o 14 my mother wanted the 30.00 odd dollars that was paid for the motel room that burned and office 2 dtories and beyond where the pool which was in the fron beyond the pool and before pool a little was the room and to the right where the caar was facing the car facing towards the motel and back by the pool and its night and we are alone..... so there is caaaaaaar room we were in across about from the car that was by the pool and it seems like my father had tom move the car to back near the pool and the office next aaafter room aaaand car up by the pool.. small pool outdoors not much fire for the water to put out the fire and the fire trucks left... i would say it would take a lot of water to put out that fire a real lot. WE were at a house i believe sc that is where the BLack arab think...... then think nakota answer i got is.... here..... who i said no to .... i remember was as a taxidriver, , he said in NYC he said and SC.... the house i really couldnt see.= tall trees or bushes.....There was a beware of the dog sign to the left of me in the car where i was andI was in back seat... house was on the main roadfor the place where it was and house was on the left...and facing out is how the car was facing - facing out and downwards about.... the sign beware of dog was on a fence like to a riveway left of trees maybe chain link can not tell you what was behind the tree/ bushes along the road and i would think was the front of the house but with like a driveway i am thinking and the right ofsign was tall trees/ bushes that because of them i could not see the house.........i look bback and believe my father was parked bottleneck faceing down and out and we left my father didnot go up to the door to get the money from the owner which is what she wanted.... It was not inviting to me and the beware sign....at that place not urban and rural to the right of the car.. dad all protected there i m being told... how faR BACK TO THE MAIN RD =?
