There were a ring of apartment like duplexes on a circle where the old
house we lived on sat. They were HUD homes... aka "Projects".

If you get there highly reccomend Jailhouse pizza... just not during
the prime time lunch rush. Food was good... love Calzones done right.
It was crowded though the place looks bigger on the internet than it
does in real life.
Booths are rickety and the local folks don't have many "booth"
manners.

If they knew it was for soldiers that died that "might have" (lots of
debate on this one but have some letters by my ancestors that tell of
how the confederacy forced conscripts to fight or die, been forced to
fight for the south. Many young white men were conscripted and forced
to fight, often chained at night to prevent them from deserting, which
to me is nothing more than another form of slavery.
The monument was purchesd by mothers who lost their sons in the
Confederate Army. Nothing more than a cenotaph... a grave marker for
the unburied.
But then our "college" or university that wants to do nothing
more than have a top athletic program, doesn't teach the correct
history if you can call what they teach history at all.
