951 Edgewood Avenue, Atlanta, Georgia.
Our residence was 951 Edgewood Avenue, a street made of cobblestones. Across the street from our home is Mary Lin Park. Two doors down the street were the trolley barn. The trolleys had electric lines attached to an overhead cable. The lines frequently fell off the cable.
During the war, times were tough. Every family economized. A popular notion was to sew the flour sacks into dresses and aprons.
