When my brother bought a little Crestview house on Piedmont in 1959, there was a working farm on the other side of his back fence.
Anderson Lane was out in the boonies, and Northwest Hills was cedar chopper country with an abandoned quarry.
Anything south of Ben White was rural woods with a few scattered houses.
