As we celebrate the tradition and the heritage of the historic Riverview Apartments before they are gone forever, Virginia Hankins sent along some photos of folks in the neighborhood from back in the day.
Thanks to Jenny for sharing these with us!
These wonderful photos from about 1964, 65, or 66, are a prelude to the new homes to be built on the Riverview Apartments site, when the apartments are torn down. That article, complete with pictures of the new homes to be built, is coming soon.
