Stephen Slaubaugh remembers when Jamestown Hill was higher He remembers using the cement plant as a fort for throwing snowballs at passing cars on Road Eighty, the days of the Three Stations at the Top of Jamestown Hill, and the barber shop where boys and men could get a 'flat top' and much more. A great chapter in the epic story being pieced together about a magic place and time in its golden days - Growing Up on Jamestown Hill Comments re photo 44050 Coming soon a view weve never seen before By Stephen Slaubaugh In 1962 I moved with my family from the farm near the Adair/Casey County line to an apartment building which was located just past the brick building past the Realty building in the picture. I remember the hill with the house and the trees. There was a cement company next to the house. My brother, cousins, neighbor kids and I used to hide on the hill and around the cement equipment and throw snow balls at cars passing by. There was a barber shop there where we got our "flat tops," The realty building was a Standard Oil gas station with a Shell station on the corner across 80. There was another gas station,an Ashland Oil I think, between the feed store and the Dr Pepper Bottling Company. I remember the hill was cut so that we could almost jump from it on to the roof of the Standard station. I can't remember if they cut any of it out when they built the grocery store. - Stephen Slaubaugh CM NOTE: Thanks, Stephen Slaubaugh for the wonderful memories. And, for youngster less than 160 years old, a "flat top" was a hairstyle, of all things! Now it is remembered simply by oldtimers as a "Grover Gilpin," after the only man in America who style has one. We're not sure what barber shop brought the first flat top to Columbia, or which one performed the last one, but it would be good to know. -EW This story was posted on 2012-03-06 06:43:23
