Day 26- Stories from Clay Street School days

Neighborhood schools were a huge part of Kane’s past. People who went to West Side or Central or Chestnut or any of the others have a special bond for life. Today Tom Jones shares his memories and stories about going to Clay Street School.

Tom grew up on Greeves Street, just past the cut off line for Chestnut Street Elementary. One thing he shared that we didn’t talk about in the video is that he would often walk up Greeves Street to Vincie’s as a kid, as everyone did. But whenever he came to Cumming’s Funeral home he would run until he got past it. We thought that was a funny story!

Watch him talk about his elementary school days.
