Product Description
Once Upon Dickson tells the story of Dickson Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas, the colorful and ever-changing link between the center of town and the University campus. Carefully researched, it will appeal to a large popular audience of residents and visitors to the citys premier entertainment district and to University personnel and alumni, for whom it is as memorable in their college experience as Old Main or Razorback Stadium. In a time when Dickson Street is undergoing radical change, the book serves as a reminder that the street has been changing almost from the earliest time in its history. Residences, churches, public institutions, and businesses have come, gone, and sometimes come again, but because of its location, Dickson Street remains at the heart of Fayetteville.

Grandparents lived one block over July 30, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I spent many summers on Scott Street, and just across from Jug Wheeler and one block over from Dixon. I worked briefly one semester at Dixie Radio repairing appliances, radios and TV's. I also recall walking down to the RR station to see the "Wheels go round", although later when it was a diesel engine it wasn't quite as great. Mother was a friend of Morris Collier (Drug Store) and always stopped by to visit. We went to Wholesome Bread Store for bread and to the post office for savings stamps during WWII. I also recall Bloody Mary and the beer garden. Earlier I had saved a pigeon and the owner promised me all the grapes I could eat from his grape arbor. I recall fixing a juke box at a fraternity house across from the University. Also my name is on the U of AR sidewalk (up from Dixon) twice, my Father's is on at 1931, Aunt Ruth's on in '44 as I recall. We went to the Presbyterian Church on Dixon. I walked downtown to the Square and to one of the three theaters there up Dixon. It was quite a nostalgic visit to Dixon in the book.
