Ryt; can ye find me one to buy? jeje... actually Jeron, i love to piddle around a house and even with good skills an old house will still need something. Previously i loved the old houses and neighborhoods of Memphis. Tha place is actually like no-where else even though i have been every-where, now, in USA and around the world. And 'annesdale snowden' is like the 'ideal' of that effect; there in mid-town. I had some good years in Memphis. I graduated in the last class of 'Memphis State U' der in 94 and was quite invested in my career chances though i had two or three large problems from the beginning, as only manifested at the end of my time there, near the turn of the Mellineum. That i hope you will let me share with you; only the info about it, without trying to say too much as i let u know why i have rarely been back.
One problem for me there is a good and aristocratic old family there and a businessman with the same name as me; Mr Wm T. Chandler. We were near the same age and even looked similar. Yet he is successful in love and property and family. He was nice enough, from a distance, and i couldn't blame him that he didn't want anyone to be confused. I had come from the 'hill farmers' of middle tennessee and was not a part of aristocratic thinking nor elitism, as everyone at memphis is a part, like it or not.
Nextly i had originally come there in 89, by myself but supposedly along with a freind whom was also from here in mid-tn as had gone to live and work there, and that man later made some enemies there as he also married into a big-Mafia family back here. thas all i'll say about that though it is quite encompassing. He had been in real-estate there and was possibly acquainted with my distant relative there.
Nextly my younger, youngest and Only sister had come to college there after a visit with me, there in 1990. Like me she was 'fooled' by a Spring visit to Memphis; tricked unto imagining it a jovial and beneficial place and then to her i guess it was. By the time she left she had done an 'internship' with state Senator's Kyle and Cohen. She had transformed from being my innocent little sister into a worldly arrogant vixen with a renewed sense of superiority over myself. I don't know the relations she had with those men only that my social life and career were then and there stunted forevermore. Good luck with McDonalds and raise a glass to me in the old neighborhood. Again, thanks for your reply.

I assume you are speaking of Annesdale Snowden the neighborhood. I lived there 10 years and was the president of the association for 2-3 years. It was a great neighborhood. I need more details to ring a bell. I met so many people and was involved in so many activities with that group. Also the time spent at that house involved a lot of personnal social events at our house. Where do you live now? I have moved 2x and made it four blocks. I was tired of the old house, always needing something. I now live in a new house with some historical value, but it seems it is always needing something........the joys of home ownership.
