This morning
in THE MARIETTA DAILY JOURNAL's Historic Photos of the Day is dated Aug 16,
1962, about Jayne Mansfield making a personal appearance at the grand
opening at Thrift City.
Thrift City would become K-Mart then Sears
Discount Store and so on. Interesting,
is less than 500 feet where Leo Frank was hung by a well organized lynch mob in
1913
I remember
that night in August when Jayne came to town.
A bunch of us stood by her big shiny car waiting for her to come back
out so we could get a closer look at her.
Inside the
car, her young daughter, alone sat and
glared at us.
I remember
seeing Jayne at a distance inside the store, or at least her white-blond hair,
with a crowd of heads around her. But I
don't remember seeing her closely as she
returned to her car. Her security must
have shooed us away.
