Leeds Walking Track
I enjoy the Leeds Walking Track because my thoughts are my own. It is a great place to escape and a good stress reliever.
The Soda Fountain and Roxy Theater
We would take a weekly shopping trip when the main street was full of hustle and bustle of people who worked hard all week and gathered downtown to shop and linger on the street to visit with each other. I would always listen to the conversations and wait patiently for my turn to get a treat from the soda fountain at Miller Drug and the possibility of going to the movie at Roxy Theater. I would work hard to earn 25 cents, so I could get my movie ticket for 15 cents and have 10 cents left over for a soda and candy bar. The memories of growing up in small town Leeds are a treasure.
Culinary Variety
If I am in the mood for something sweet and sinful, it has to be the Three Earred Rabbit. If it is just good food, Rusty’s Catering menu is great, and of course, do not disallow El Cazador or Mango’s.
Many Delightful Events
I cannot pick a favorite event because they are all wonderful and different. Starting with the Trails and Tours downtown walking tour to the Creek Bank Festival as well as the downtown summer movie nights and the Christmas Tree Lighting and The Christmas Parade. There is so much about Leeds to enjoy. The wonderful good people that live here and care about each other are the very best.
Hagwood Hotel
The most sentimental place for me is the old Hagwood Hotel. When I was a child, my mom would tell me that she and my dad spent their honeymoon night there in August 1934.
