Anderson Pl, Madisonville

Anderson Place is one of Madisonville's most stable, desirable streets. There aren't any fabulous mansions there; but the houses are nice and well-maintained, and the street is tree-lined, neat and tidy. It's been that way for many years. Of course it's not as impressive as it was when I was a little girl and all those homes were fairly new. What is impressive is that the street looks pretty much the same way it did back then.... with a little wear and tear.

Anderson Place has always been a street of predominately African American residents. It's a short street that begins at Madison Rd and runs north where it turns makes a right turn and becomes Chandler Ave. There are no other intersecting streets, but It borders the eastern edge of what used to be Lyon Junior High School's grounds when I was a child.

The school was rebuilt and the name was changed to John P Parker Elementary; but just like years ago, neighborhood students still walk along Anderson Place each morning to reach the school's front door. Other than daily school traffic, the street has few cars coming and going.
