The end of Hyman Court and Lois Avenue, just next to what is Kiddie Beach now, 1930s. You can see Plumb Beach and shanties across the creek . My (Ginny Holmes) grandmother, Carrie Nash, would swim here twice a day. You could swim across to Plumb Island without any trouble except staying out of the boats' way. My grandparents Carrie and John F. Nash were among the first group of city folks to buy lots and homes in the Old Section. I can remember walking down the streets barefooted. It was sandy. In later years they paved with black tar. You could tell the Beach kids by the black tar on the bottom of our feet. It was so hot. We had to run across the street; then the sand burned our feet instead.  (Courtesy Ginny Holmes)
