    3. Hi Teresa, John Rhea Bridge is the bridge that crosses the creek as you left school and started for the Fair Grounds. Then you passed John B.'s House on the right. When you got to the curve and made a right (if you turned left you went through Cobb Hollow) about 150 feet from the corner was at that time a store called Disney Market ran by Rubye Harmon Disney and her husband Woodrow. Back in the 1920's & 1930's it was a Meat processing/store called E.S.Chase's Mkt. As you started out Savage Garden Rd. and went around the big curve by the Underwoods and Wilsons the first house you passed on the left was "Granny Webb's" then L. A. "Georgia Slim" Newman's and sometimes "Bob" Wilbar might be around. I believe when Red Goins lived out in there it was after he retired and moved back from Cleveland,OH? I was born just up the road in the little Hollow between the two springs where Webb-Polly branch comes out into Coal Creek. Edd Phillips had a store setting in there at that time. Before it was Ed's store it had been what some folks use to call a Honky Tonk or a roadhouse. A Tavern and dance hall was on the first floor and home was upstairs. The place had been originally been built by Robert H. "Bob" Lowe but on March 28,1940 he was shot four times and died at his new place near Lake City. The place was then sold to I believe Sam Lester, then Bill Wallace anyhow Frank Dew ended up with it and then he sold it to my father and it burned down on Easter Sunday 1953 I believe and then a couple of years later the property was sold to Edd Phillips. Back in the late 40's and early 50's before they became recording stars, fellow's like Roy Acuff and Chester Atkins use to drop by from Union County and play a little music.
