Hi All. I have
a few pictures taken from the Porterdale Reunion October 20, 2007.
It was a beautiful fall day
and weather was perfect.
After registration in the
Porterdale Mill the crowd was arriving.....
And WOW! Look here at
Smiley's. In the old building across from
the mill. Gwen is in
charge and she says business has been good.
The white walled room on
the right is a private dining room for groups.
Phone 770 786 8055 for
hours of operation an information.
Smiley's is a must
visit for Home Cooking.
This is Gwen, she's
usually cooking up the vittles. That's Peggy on the right
In another part of the
building is a Meeting Room for various events.
You can bring your own food
or have it catered. Whatever suits your
needs.
This is the New/Old
Barbershop. I'm told it still has the original flooring
I used to get haircuts here
back in the 1930's/40's. Cost only 25¢ in those days.
Peggy is checking out the
shops in the old Cotton Warehouse.
While across the street a
"Town Hall Meeting" in going on.
Where the Now Open sign in
the window is Smiley's. They haven't had time
to put up signs yet.
The fellow in the blue shirt is Ralph Williams keeping an
eye on me. We
were buddies back in the 40's and today was the first time
we have come eye to eye in
over 50 years.
Time for a few pictures of
the shops that have opened. Interesting
little doo-dads here in the
flower shop.
Wine Shop called Cork
Poppers.
This is a little Art Shop.
Interesting memorbilia, note the old Porterdale
basketball uniform in lower
right corner. Purple and Gold. Picture of
Miss Maude King top right
and the Tanner sisters also on display along
with other old photos
This is a Coffee Shop.
I bumped into this cute little RedHead here.
We're both Porterdale
natives, getting reaquainted after 50+ years.
My wife Peggy shows up and
takes a few pictures for the record......
This is Shirley Holder and
Jerry Mills.
My cousin Catherine Mills.
Another eatery in the
Cotton Warehouse. Jimbo's
