A lot to live up to- om unit ur parents formed a community where their children could have room to run and breathe clean air with no pollution. They built a society among intelligent people who breed goals and the potential to become somebodies. We were placed in a school district where busing was considered taboo and education was to be our lop priority. An education acquired from books, from acquaintances. and exposure to all types of social and cultural events was supplied. Two police stations and one fire station was sup- ported by the community to tighten security. Pre- vention of crime became important to Memorial because it wanted to protect the most precious belongings -its families and homes. Shopping centers and entertainment areas were in reasonable distances from the homes. Churches of all denominations stood within Memorial's boundaries to supply her residents freedom of choice. The streets were framed with side walks to pro- vide the large number of joggers and bicyclers safety. Exercise and health were important to everyone. Most of the community supported school's sports. plays. and other activities with enthusiasm. The spirit of victory spread throughout Memorial like wildfire leaving no one untouched. Our parents and the community they invented for themselves and their children was a personal- ized wonderland which produced people deep with emotion, intelligence and health. They were going to prove they could form a generation which had a lot to live up to. LORD AND TAYLOR, an anxiously awaited department store, was added to Memorial City Shopping Center to provide fash- ion and convenience for the community.
