About
Hey there, So a little bit about me cause they say I should tell you so. I am a native of the Springs. I went to Ivywild elementary k-6th grade. I find it hilarious it’s now a brewery and much more. I was spanked twice as a youngin in the principal’s office and enjoyed going back as an adult. The bar is a chalkboard now so of course I had to comment. “I’m back, spank me now” was what I wrote.
My junior high is now a cop shop, which is ironic cause it was the troubled South Jr High. Wasson is still there but who knows what it is these days. I catered the opening of Stetson Hills. 6 houses in a circle. I still remember my boss saying, this will never work. Nobody will move out here, there’s no tree’s. If he could only see what the east side has become now. That all being said I do love the OCC best of all and look forward to sharing it’s rich history with all of you.
Let’s go have us some fun!!!
