yep, i remember snob hill.
At first, when I saw your post, I thought you might be referring to Peckers Knob and not Snob Knob.
Anybody remember Peckers Knob north of town?

I do not know about that snob hill knob thing very much, but I can tell you about a good friend of me and Luke's. He was a thinny sort of fellow that lived on a slant, right upon that pecker's knob, and his name was Bob. But we didn't call him Bob, not at all, friends, cuz he lived right on that slanty ground next to the knob.

We heard people say that it was a pecker's knob, and since Bob lived on that slanty part and all, why, we called him Knob Bob. And that's a righteous fact, I tell you true.

Later, we just called him Knob. But he had a big nose, and we funned with him some and such as boys do, and he looked like something akin to a woodpecker, that bird that bangy-bangs your gutters in the mornings and wakes you up and all. So we called him Woodpecker, but we shorted that to Pecker, cuz of his big nose. Later on we just talked about his nose and all, so we just called him Big Pecker then. He got lots of dates, though, even if he did have a big pecker.

He didn't live at Crest View, though. He lived on the slanty part of Pecker's Knob, I tell you true. That Snob Hill place was anext to the water tower where we used to climb up and throw old socks off from.

I'll tell you about some other friend of mine some time. Her name was Ruby Ridge. Her name is real enough, I tell you true.

Hilarious, Falwell...made my evening reading your post.

There is a tall mighty post next to my shed, my good friend from Kearney. The post is not from Kearney, though, as near as I can hump the top. It just a regular old post, tall and mighty though it be. Me and Luke once spend most of a good day leaning on it, and it served me well, and it served him well too, nigh as I might know, I tell you true.

It's still there, though, but a thing died against it during the long frosty coldish winter, and I know not of it. It be furry and stinks to high form, so I feel it best to let it dry more before nearing it more closely. It smells bad some.

Those biggie vultures that live in my neighbor's oak tree been pecking at it every afternoon at the time of tea. So maybe they will move it all bit at a time, and that's fine enough with me. Cuz it is dead for certain, it is furry from a distance, and it stinks up close. I want so little to do with such things.

I might burn it though, cuz I do so like fires and such. But then it might burn that mighty non-Kearney post, and that's not always what some other folks might say is good, I tell you true.

There is a whole bucket of orangish golf balls buried low in the dirt by that post, too, but I'll tell you more of that some other day, cuz MASH is on just now, and I do like that Hot Lips so. She makes my heart verily throb, and that's a dash.

Don't always listen to that common sense doctor fellow, either, cuz he messed me up about that condiment thing.

Good night my good friends.

it was a reference to Crestview in the 70's and 80's. Don't worry I know many nice people and even have very nice relatives and great friends in Crestview. I'm not sure why I heard it called that. Probably because people had money or something like that? Anyone else remember that let me know.

No, snob knob was west 23rd street from about 23rd and R to the dead end. I don't remember people thinking the home owners were snobs up that way, just nice homes with the best views in town. You can see for miles from snob knob.

There is certainly nothing noteworthy about Crestview. It is just a pre-fab suburban-type area full of working folks like a million other areas around the country. There are no really spectacular dwellings or buildings there. Why would it be Snob Knob?

In the 70s/80s it was THE NICEST and most expensive part of town.

Never.

I like it the way I remember it. I'm sure a lot has changed since most of my family has left or died, and grandmas place has been leveled and turned into storage. However, those great little purple flowers that crawl along the ground that she loved are still there! Ha!
Love Ya

I like Auburn because there is a lot of free love
on main street through town on just about each corner.

Yeah! If you have out-of-town license plates you'll see just how much love we have to give. We'll even throw in a fancy light show for free.

I like Auburn becasue I no longer live there. And when I did it was the worst experience I ever had anywhere. I had a very mean boss,she owned her own business. She lost her temper alot and paid you when ever she felt like she wanted to pay you. Me and the other girls that worked hard for her were very under appreciated. I hear she hasn't changed to much over the years. Its been a blessing that I haven't had to see her for over 15 years or more.
OH-I guess Auburn has a nice pool.

It's good to see that someone remembers "Molly's Hole".

We used to swim there a bit. Quite a few good memories of my childhood there.

Thanks!

Wow! A free light show? I'm on my way! Although I don't know anything about free love on every corner. I guess I led a sheltered life when I was a youngster there! LOL

We use to go down there all the time(80's). Get a couple buds together along with the fishing poles and have one hell of a good time. If the fish weren't biting, a good swim was all that was needed to enjoy the day.

I can remember a rock waterfall just a little ways up stream from the hole. If I remember correctly it was only a couple feet tall, but as kids it was this fantastic looking rush of water that was our own little Nile.

Also, I was always told that the name "Molly's Hole" was from a cow named Molly that had drowned in the creek. Anyone know any truth to that, or is there another story floating out there?
