Lived on Read St. at Tyson during the peak of the counterculture. It was lively, fascinating, and had an aura of history. So quaint and unexpected. I lived over Middle-Earth, a head-shop on Read St. (across from the 'Hair Garage', a bakery, and AntiqueMania.) What a time and place it was.

Remember the concerts too so much fun and of course merry go round shop and the underground paper Harry in the early 70s

I lived at 892 Tyson for a short time (around '90) I appreciate learning more about the old neighborhood! (and btw, that final scene of Pink Flamingos was next door)

A family friend, Jane Bradshaw, lived at 902 in the 1970's. The house is 9foot wide on the first floor, and 12 foot wide on the second. Furniture placement was very thoughtfully considered. A beautiful street and the house tours were Wonderful!

Jane was a lovely person. She was the antique shop owner there.

I would have liked to see more of the history of Tyson and Read street during the 60s and 70s counter culture movement and anti Vietnam war movement. This was the hub of a lot of it. There was an underground paper Harry and concerts and the annual Tyson street and read street festivals with live music. Merry go round clothing got its start here with Boggie Weinglass and his retail hip clothing store with incense bellowing in the air. Too bad it wasn't covered as part of the historical record

The abolitionist was Elisha Tyson, not Eliza.

He said Elisha (albeit pronounced as “elizha”), not Eliza.
