When i was a wee lad, i dated a lass from Summit Christian College.
The best part about Rudisill?
…that the West-end terminated at Foster Park. Other than that, i was told to steer clear of Rudisill and the #’d streets from dusk to dawn.
Nefarious things happen at such hours of the night/morning, and apparently, some things never change for this area of town.
This street has attachments to some that will do anything for money. Anything.
I liked this formatting, whomever be the layout artist!
Thanks! I’m the News Director and we’re working to transition more to this for easy readability!
