Do you know what was across the road on corner where old bank is now? Knows you is a Youngon

Old two story clapboard building; might have had a sinclair pump out front long ago but then again I might be thinking of the one further up on the hill.  Building was backdrop for a lot of old football team pictures without intending to be.

 

Tooter Moss car lot was small on a gravel lot with a very small business hut as I recall.  RIP to the man; another local legend gone.

Sue's Snack Bar maybe, Bama Club (hope not). Nohope is happy to admit being to "young" to play that game. Old building I referenced was directly across road from present day softball field. Pics at SP Historical Museum shows it. Still there when I was younger. Old Sinclair station was on top of hill.....

The one on the hill was owned by the Parham Family. Old Pirate ain't sure what ever happened to Wayne Parham a fellow student. Yep Nohope, Sue's Snack bar was the local meet & greet. A feller Buddy Long operated the gas station on the corner. Several houses towards town were torn down and Valley Tire became the local tire recapping store. Long's great grandson played for the Pirates for coach Tim. Tooter had a converted out house for his office across the street. Us fellers back-n-the day had a clean dress code, weren't no britches sagging and butt cheeks showing...unless you were a Plummer. LOPAO......

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
