My grandmother lived on Gaither. We'd visit summers, sometimes near Christmas. Grandfather died in 63 before I could really remember him. Grandmother had to move out in 67 after MLK was shot- The neighborhood got mean. She moved to Whitehaven, then back to mid-town a few years later and worked at Goldsmith's. I have great memories of the Gaither neighborhood.Between Carnes and Waverly.
We headed out the front door at 8 in the morning and didn't come back for another ten hours. Running up and down the alleys, ogling the big houses on Parkway.
Tanglewood Street is why we bought a hundred-year-old Craftsman bungalow when we moved to Asheville. I want my grandkids to have a front porch and a neighborhood like that.
