THE SYLVAN SPOONS

of

SYLVAN PARK

Nashville, TN

 

I thought I'd indulge you in a little side trip here if you care to take it. For the last three years now I've been poking around into the different places that the Knapps lived (generated of course by their mansion in my childhood town of Mastic Beach, NY.

 

Since 1987 Nashville, Tennessee has been where the Spooners call home. In August of 2002 we moved into a little suburb called Sylvan Park. One of the things that caught my eye about this place is how much it reminded me of the Mastic Beach minus the beach that I used to know. Those who were there back then will know what I mean by this first picture.

 

These nice folks live about three streets from me. Their bungalow was built in 1925

 

 

Pine Trees ALWAYS remind me of Mastic Beach. I spent hours in them

 

Dec 8th '03 on 45th Ave (my street) notice a new house being built VERY RARE

 

 

also on 45th Ave

 

 

Most of the homes here were built between 1900 - 1930 therefore

the style is wee bit older than Mastic Beach
