I'm one of the survivors! Thanks for sharing!

I'm a survivor of this tragedy and I want to say thank you so much, Dewey, for this video.

Thank you

So good to see you

Dewey you are right. The plan is to get more people into Hapeville. That in itself is not a bad concept but the problem is, where are they going to put them? There is only so much room in that little town. Especially if you want to keep it as a nice quiet little town. I-85, I-75 and the airport have made sure the city limits can't get any bigger. I do agree with restoring all the old beautiful homes to current livable standards. Keep the trees and parks. NEVER lose the charm that is Hapeville.

Your favorite house on Arnold street was the home of a dear friend of mine that some may remember fondly. Her name was Jessica Buchannan. She was a very good softball and basketball.

They were made as Kitty Hawk. I grew up in Hapeville and went to school there. Jo Wells and Hapeville High School. Class of 78.

Love the butterflies. I live in Pensacola, Fl now and we have Pelicans which are so cute.

Dewey, I SO love you and LOVE your tours of our beloved Hapeville !! I was the daredevil on my bicycle and would befin at the top of Maple Street. Thanks for the memories !!!

Mr. Anderson lived there (Norton Home). Yes, he was blind. Used to feel the top of my head to see how much I’d grown. 😂. Amazing home and grounds.

Is there pictures of Union Avenue during the 1950’s Lived in 1st house, where cars parked in what would be our yard. Just pass little grocery store….

We used to play kick ball on the lot at the corner of Lake and Jackson. Sorry to see that lot gone!

Is there pictures of the houses on union avenue my family left 1960

My grandmother would come to then Candler field to watch the wing walkers That was to earn money

Late 1950’s I walked from Union Avenue to Hapeville High

Had a friend who lived 2 blocks from the high school

Graduation 1960 in gym

Hoping you are feeling better

Good to see you again

My heart goes out for you

In my childhood we would see the crop dusters

My grandmother would tell us about the wing walkers. How sometimes the walker would fall

Thank you for the series of walks... I have enjoyed what you have done, however, I do not understand why you think that format is better... It blanks out both sides to make the focused picture so much smaller... It makes the video much more difficult to watch, especially while walking with all the shaking invcolved.

I can remember when Roy Rogers and Dale came to visit the Children’s Home

Thank you for sharing

Went to school with Perry Hudson

Sang in choir First Baptist

My friend wedding was married at the Methodist church

Myrtle corner was chiropractor office

Was a chiropractor office on corner….big yellowish building

Hapeville Ga? I grew up here. I lived here from 1985 till 1990. I attended Josephine Wells Elementary school and swam in the Hapeville pool. Such great memories.

I lived on Wheeler Street when I went to JoWells in 4th grade and we actually entered and exited school from the stairs on the side. My crazy memory seems to recall there were about 4 levels with a small platform between each, straight up into the school or perhaps a concrete platform just before the school's side door. I rarely used the front door of the school.

I met a lady that survived the hotel fire

Around minute 4:25 +/- where you say “We will go up there some other day” There was a cute little house on sale that I fell in love with. Seems someone else is buying it now. Only learned about Hapeville recently, but that street by the park stole my heart.

Sorry 3624

3630 owners of the little grocery store lived

I never remember the query. During the late 60s/early 70's it was lined off just like a football field. The football team practiced there in the afternoons and the marching band practiced the half-time shows up there in the mornings.

Did anyone find this cute birdhouse?

Thank you my family lived in house next to little grocery store.

Pat Gardner was one of my best friends. Her mom was so sweet

Ms. Wells was my English teacher

I took drivers ed. This is where I learned to drive.

Went to school with Perry Hudson

I went to the Baptist church

I graduated from Hapeville High School 1960 lived with parents on Union Avenue. The house was next to family owned grocery store

Duly noted!!! Many thanks!

Thanks! Great info!

The lot where all of the pine trees were cut down belonged to Clark and Peggy Simpson, who owned the house next to it. He was over 100 years old when he died and his children sold the house and lot.

I don't know when the quarry was filled in, but I grew up in Hapeville, started at Hapeville High School in 1966, and used to play in the woods where that field is. Never saw a quarry anywhere around there, But in the early '60's I was told that there used to be a quarry behind the old Owen's Illinois factory.

A cousin of mine died that day... was an awful day
