Speaking with relatives about family history, I am often told to keep this piece of information between you, me and the gate post. Respecting sensibilities, I will share my family stories entwine with historical events from Copiah, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties, Mississippi, from gate post to gate post.
In the 60s, we had a "juke joint" night club near our house. I loved watching the people, usually on Friday and Saturday nights, going to the Big House. The women's hair would be freshly pressed and curled and the men dressed in suits with nice ties. When the wind was just right, I could smell their cologne.

A real night on the town. I have a few photos of uncles and cousins out for a night on the town. Somewhere.
What happened to dressing up for a night on the town - or for going just about anywhere? Love these pictures!

That sounds like something I would have done. People watching was a favorite pastime of mine.
