I grew up going to Clarksville every Saturday morning. My parents only went to "town" one time a week and believe me we all looked forward to the shops,the food and the socializing.
This was brought to mind one Friday evening when along with my wife and another couple we decided to eat dinner at a downtown eatery. I parked on on Second Street in front of what used to be The Northern Bank, and as I walked to the restaurant on Franklin I couldn't help but beam with pride. Legion Street, Franklin Street and "The Square" where absolutely beautiful. Clarksville has grown many times over since my childhood, but I realized that Friday evening that Clarksville will never lose the small town charm. To the Mayor and City Council I applaud the progress you've made. Thank You for preserving our town.
