Memories of Alexandria Friends
Cathy Smith Williams

Both of the photographs shown below were taken in the late 1950s or early 1960s. Note the snow on the streets.

The first photo (below) was shot standing on the corner of Jackson Street and MacArthur Drive, facing to the East, towards Texas Avenue.  My daddy was Jim Smith, owner of Jim's Conoco Station (right side of the photo), later to become part of the current Emerald Square Shopping Center.

The second photo (below) is the view from the Conoco station at MacArthur Drive.  Across and to the left is Roshto's Service Station.
