Description
A Place Called Berry Hill is an effort by former residents, Jan Branch and John Tidwell, to document the original Berry Hill neighborhood before commercialization. This is not a historical nor archival study, rather a collection of childhood memories of the 40's and 50's, when Berry Hill was a residential community. The many contributing authors are Berry Hill kids who lived there in a quieter, simpler time. These are their stories.
