I lived on Leech Cove in Whitehaven during the mid sixties and my father
built a high wooden fence to hide the garbage cans from the street. My
brother and I climbed to the top and would watch the movies from the 61
drive in. My mother would catch us up on the fence but would not make us
come down till the movie was over.
Best place to be on Saturday night.

I grew up in Whitehaven, we went to the Bellevue Drive In on HWY 51.
Remember sneaking in friends in the trunk?! We went to St. Paul's Catholic
Church and grade school. Graduated from Immaculate Conception High School
for Girls in'66, my families home was on Nellie Dr. It's been moved and
sold ever since the Airport was supposed to use our land for expansion,
they never did!!!!!

Southwest Twin Drive In was the sight of my first auto accident. We were
leaving, waiting at the traffic light, when someone rear ended the car
behind us and they rear ended our car hard enough to jam the doors.

Once we owned the night; instead of the drug dealers. We would cruise
between McD's and Shoney's in muscle cars, or go to the drive in, or cruise
down to Sardis. We lived about a mile apart, he on Keyes in Whitehave and

to Vietnam. We have not been separated for one hour since. Celebrated our
40th wedding anniversary. Our new mustang is a Shelby. Still cruisin,
loving and having a good time cept we are doing it way out west now!

I grew up on Nellie Rd in the 60's. My family settled and named Hudgens Rd
for themselves back in the 1830's. Whitehaven was a great place to live
once upon a time.
