What are your memories of downtown Clemson?


May 3, 2018, 10:23 AM

For me ('91), it was Judge Keller's, Mr Knickerbocker's, Manifest Records & Tapes, the Duck Head outlet store (yeah, I was a prep), cheap movies at the Astro, Tigertown Tavern, the hardware/drug store or whatever it was down on the right as you're leaving campus, and buying all my loft materials at Ol' Norm's.

And I do remember the music store that two skinny boys with long blond hair worked at. I think they were brothers, played guitars in a band and their dad was a Clemson professor. Seems like he owned the store. Can anyone refresh me on that?

I worked so I only have one.


May 6, 2018, 4:49 PM

My jr year I took a lunch somewhere downtown. It was raining hard and I saw a friend walking so I stopped and gave him a ride back to the library. I was driving a 1968 Datsun B110. The driver's seat wasn't bolted down and I had put a concrete block between the DS and the rear seat so the massive power of that worn out 4cyl engine wouldn't sling me in the back when I pulled out. :)

The floorboard was rusted through on the passenger's side and I'd put some newspaper there so the water wouldn't spray through the hole and wet my pristine interior. :) :)

When Brinley got in he must have dislocated the papers because the water soon hit him right in the face. He laughed and told me he'd sell me a 1971 Pinto for the cost of the new tires and the rebuilt starter he had just in installed. He told me it probably wouldn't last long but he only spent $125 on the car. I agree and picked it up later that day.

Compared to that Datsun it was a new Lincoln Towncar. I told him it would get me through Clemson. He promised to buy it back if it lasted that long.

My family drove to graduation in our wagon and I drove it expecting Brinley to buy it back after the ceremony. The rat turd lied so I drove it for another two years.
