South End Stories

I would like to thank everyone who commented on my South End Facebook page recently, as well as all the people who “liked”  the page. Here’s my introduction on that page. Comments are always welcome.

Sandra Sylvester's comments on what it means to be from The South End of Rockland, Maine.

Sandra Sylvester is a native of Rockland’s South End. Her novel, The South End, takes place in the neighborhood where she grew up. She has degrees in Education and Communications and Professional Writing and has resided in Georgia for many years. She visits the South End as often as she can and enjoys sharing old stories with any Southender she comes upon. The blogs you read here come from her memories of growing up in the South End and in Rockland. She may also write comments about local events and concerns and delve into the history of Rockland as well. If you have stories to share, or comments to make about her blogs, please email her at southendstories@aol.com. Here are some recent comments: Duane Carr I remember rainy days riding my bike down Pacific St. slamming on the brakes seeing how close we could get to Fullers Mkt without crashing into it; sliding down the hill on real sleds; looking for glass at the shore; walking thru Fishers to get to the strand oil tank towers on Lawrence St.; rolling down the hill in a 55 gallon barrel; walking the tracks to South School; Dunkins Mkt; South End Esso. Tim Malmstrom: riding the train, sliding down the hill by Sears in a cardboard box. Freddie Luce: Good old South End. Did my 18 years there. Some were good!
