i never lost a fight at the landing

Kirby's Mayhew Landing...great memories...a sad day indeed.

I don't know who owned the landing. Kirby died several years back. I think it was closed for a while after his death, then it opened back up. I also figured it was an "accident".

Yep, used to got to the Landing on weekday afternoons, drink beer, and shoot pool. Then drive on up 45 to John's Texaco, buy quart beers and ride out to Tibbee creek to drink more beer. Then by sundown head back to Starkville to go out to some joint there - as I look at this diploma on my wall, I sometimes wonder - "how'd I get that?"

Oh Man, tell me NO !!!! close your eyes....1983-4.... I remember waking up in my car (1972 Lime Green Cadillac) in the morning, still running Had two flat tires and the tire iron was on the ground??? with a girl that I did not even know!! Did not find out her name until I brought her to my southpark apt. and my roomate asked her what her name was....then she cooked b'fast!
I also remember Will Clark walking in with his Olympic warm ups on and the damn gold medal hangin' round his neck!!
Went by there this summer on my way to Boonville dove hunt and showed my son the Landing and ..where not to go...

Weim did Glenn and Radla own that place, I remember old Kirby, hey ask Radale or Big Brad about the time that old boy cheap shot me at the landing pretty funny story, ole Big Brad fixed me up good, no stitches here, he cut some steri strips out of bandaides, man that next day at the store I looked like hell, man I had some good days in that place......

I cant help but remember that ear piercing sound as bottle after bottle of long lecks got hurled into the 50 gal drums.

Anybody old enough to remember Echol's? It was south of the Crossroads about a mile. Mr. E was an institution.

I remember being there one night after the first concert deal up at Mossy Oak. Had to be 1000 people in the building and parking lot. Huge fight, saw a girl take a beer bottle to the head. Did not seem to phase her though.
The first Thursday after school got back in the fall was always exciting.

Looks like some goods bricks left standing.

Bay, I'm think a guy that we used to call "Pickle" bought the place not very long ago. Most everybody that went to school at State knows who Pickle is. The guy was a bouncer at just about every bar in Starkville and Columbus.

I remember pickle. He is one big SOB. I remember him drinking screwdrivers out of a pitcher!

Yea, Pickle had it leased from Kirbys son Doug.
