Welcome to Sprigg Street Memories! My name is Darla June Franklin. My maiden name was Yow.
This blog will be my place to re-live old memories and introduce you to the people who lived near me in the South Sprigg Street neighborhood of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, during the late 1950's and early 1960's. Hopefully you may find my memories entertaining or informative. Maybe you have some memories or photos from that neighborhood and time also. If so, I hope that you will share them with me and also with others who may happen to visit this blog. You may leave a comment or email me at darlayow@gmail.com-
