It was a small place. 146 seems about right. I saw a few movies back in the 60s and 70s, but I can’t remember a one.
Our family used to have one of the original cabins on Lake Muskaday until we sold it in the 90s. Nobody had the time. I kick myself now. It was built, probably back the 30s or so by one of our relatives, “Daddy” Frank Murch, along with at least one of his friends. They also dammed up the springs and built the lake. I never met the man but did get my middle name from him. We spent many a summer up there with his wife Mildred. She was a blast. We still laugh heartily as we imitate her yelling out the car window to the old Jewish ladies to “Get out of the road” as they walked down the middle of the road up by Lake Tennannah. Anyway, they tore down that cabin and sold the land to the neighbors. It was listing terribly and was probably beyond hope.
Down in town, one end of that strip, closer to the river, was the grocery store. If memory serves me, the Italian restaurant was at the other end, and the theater somewhere in between but on the opposite side. It isn’t a very long strip. The town has been hit hard with flood waters the past few years as has much of that area. Folks have been washed away, literally.
Been thinking about it and I seem to recall seeing either, THE GNOME MOBILE or DARBY O'GILL AND THE LITTLE PEOPLE or both. I know there were others.
Ha ! That pizza place is where I thought it was and it’s for sale.
