Murray Hill was a great place to grow up in the 50's.  I have wonderful memories of going to the Edgewood Theater on Saturday mornings (I took lunch and stayed half the day), the Murray Hill Methodist Church, Ruth N. Upson Elementary School and, of course, the Dreamette! I still go to the Dreamette everytime I am up in Jax.

Quotei however dont consider the area between edgewood and mc duff part of murray hill.

or mediocre as the area east of Edgewood has become with the ghetto of McDuff/North Rivers  the whole area is challenged with one family I know who had their doors kicked in at Post and Talbot just before Christmas.

(see my post page 2 this thread;responding to Troll troll here)

During my tenure at 605 Talbot I experienced one (and so far,after twenty years in Avondale,only) home burglary.
Came home about 1 am.......hmmmm......I walk in to the living room and hear traffic.....kitchen door open......that dang stupid Glidden factory smell...north winds/winter

STRANGE PLACE

21 speed bike-gone.6 Hp Evinrude-gone. Ruger Security Six revolver;classic closet placement-gone.

Due to high volume demands,Police not able to respond until 9:30 am .

I eventually retrieved the Ruger from the COJ State Attorney Property Room.Scratched,beat up,four rounds,thoughtfully included in a plastic bag,two Winchester Silvertip .38+P 125 Gr. misssing.
I tracked the Revolver's path,Police report.Telling.
Outa'there

Have never left a firearm unattended since.
