June 24, 2023 – On this day, fifty years ago, the Savannah Morning News local headlines included a dispute between the Savannah Electric Power Co. and a contractor who claimed the company was trying to force home builders into pushing electric appliances over gas fueled products. There was NWA Wrestling match scheduled for that evening at Grayson Stadium. If wrestling wasn’t your thing, you could check out King Kong or High Plains Drifter at the Lucas.
Meanwhile, Savanna’s Fragrant Garden at Forsyth Park was beset with vandalism and thefts. And the TV Center, “Where TV Is a business and not a sideline” was offering for sale the latest in Zenith record players, black and white TVs and AM-FM Radios at its store on Bull Street.
