Kirby's Augusta - For Whom the Phone Rings
These days everybody has a phone. Usually within quick reach.
It is hard for us to imagine that there was once a time when instant communication was not so easy.
But it was until a summer day in 1879 when all that changed.

Переглядів 2,4 тис.7 років тому
Most Augustans today think of Robert C. Daniel Jr. as the name on the parkway that fronts one of the city's main commercial districts. But the man, Robert C. "Bob" Daniel was more than that. Much more.

We often brag about being a nation of laws, not men. So we should be familiar with the Law of Unintended Consequences. Take downtown Augusta in the 1970s.

Kirby's Augusta - The Arch
Переглядів 2,4 тис.7 років тому
Augusta used to be a busy railroad town. For decades Union Station, facing Barrett Plaza between Eighth and Ninth streets, gave travelers their first view of the Garden City. But if those visitors had strolled a block east they would have seen the grittier aspect of train travel - the Georgia Railroad shops.

Have you ever wondered who thought it would be a good idea to run a street under a railroad overpass with the lowest of clearances and the narrowest of widths? Well, some long forgotten highway engineer did, and for 8 DECADES Augustans have been running their trucks into the Olive Road underpass.

Переглядів 2 тис.7 років тому
The new thing for Augusta seems to be downtown distilleries and breweries. But it’s really an old thing. More than a century ago, you could step outside in the right section of town and smell the “most delightful” aroma of beer being brewed. You could smell Belle of Georgia.

There are probably a few things more difficult to live up to than being the "junior" to a famous man. John D. Rockefeller Jr., John F. Kennedy Jr., Mickey Mantle Jr. fell short of the fame of their fathers. But that's not always the case.
Kirby's Augusta - You can Fight a City Hall
Переглядів 1,6 тис.7 років тому
As the 1900s dawned, this is the vision our civic leaders had for the place where government would be conducted. It was also the vision the city wanted to give visitors to our town when they first arrived. That’s right. When you left your train at the relatively new Union Station, this is what you would see rising across the way

Few people today have any idea who Martin V. Calvin was. Let us change that. He was an Augusta soldier, an educator, an agricultural innovator and even a war correspondent and newspaper journalist. He also had some of the wildest sideburns I've ever seen.

At the beginning of each summer we celebrate the anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944, truly one of the remarkable feats of modern warfare. The allied invasion of Europe , led by Augusta favorite Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, is one of the great moments in human history. But D-Day’s success is made more remarkable by the fact that German leader Adolf Hitler and his forces should have known it was about...

Kirby's Augusta - Cult Comes to Columbia County
I hate that im so late to the party on this video. Upon reading about this fire many years ago, i wasn't surprised as every major and secondary city in America remarkably had "great fires" that destroyed many historical buildings and sites that those we dare not mention wanted to see disappear. Of course no one was caught. The clue as to who, or what group, was involved is very simple to ascertain. Just simply look at the date the fire occurred. 322. Now, search the internet for the significance of this number (don't use Google; use Brave or Yandex as Google is CIA owned), and you will see so many secret societies use this date to cause chaos. Why? Genesis 3:22. They believe this verse shows that God is weak after all and that man can achieve God-like status. These groups are Luciferiens, and that is well established but not well publicized as they act in secrecy and excell at telling lies. Each mayor and sheriff in our fair city of Augusta has been a 33rd degree Freemason. To this, i'm sure they'll deny it, but i assure you that this is the case. Once beyond the 30th degree, Freemasons who've made it this far are introduced to page 321 of their leader Pike's infamous Dogma book that outlines this secret club's rules, history, and nefarious agenda. On this page, the reader will find that they follow Lucifer, not our God. Augusta, like every American city of any stature, is infested with them. They've infiltrated every political faction all the way down to local governments. I will step off of my soap box now, but i wanted to clear up the reason as to why the perpetrator was never found and as to what his agenda was on that very significant date to these very evil secret societies.
I thought B for Blizzard....
I heard it was haunted
Without any hesitation Dorothy was murdered. I suspect it was over JFK. Only the night before she appeared for the last time on what's My line. She would not have overdosed on anything. The fact was she was in the way and possibly revealing what really happened. And for that she lost her life. Many people loved her. And we know better.
Big Bankz - shows the glass penthouse 7 million - empty now these people's souls
Ive been to the Windsor spring house
She should have known after finding the truth not to tell anyone until the truth was ready to be told. If these people could kill JFK, what made her think her life would be spared if she found the truth. Especially if it was powerful people. Marilyn Monroes death a few years earlier should have taught her that.
COOL VIDEO ! SUNDAY 5/26/24 MAY 26, 2024
I have fond memories spending time with my family there
This is my great grandfather.
My grandpa George W. Stanfield served aboard her at the end of the war.
I heard a tour guide in Savannah tell a similar story about Pulaski's bones ?
Such good memories. Would love to see more pics. This was an amazing mall
Kirby was my mom's maiden name. She was from Waynesboro.
My mother (born in Augista in 1040) spoke of this often to us as we were growing up. She is still with us and I can't wait to share this with her. ❤
Place has some of the best sandwiches
Her face looks as if she is sick
His lesson still endures....too bad University doesn't.
She said the liason she hinted at wasn't marilyn and jfk...but marilyn and someone else.
I grew up in Augusta Georgia. I knew Duke. This video basically openly admits to the corruption in the city of Augusta Georgia in Richmond County.
I was one one the first on the scene when this happened. I was stationed at Ft. Gordon at the time and I lived off 0:53 post with my wife just behind the airport and golf course on Damascus Road. I was coming back from the convenience store when this behemoth landed. I sat on my motorcycle just outside the fence for hours watching the melee unfold. And to top it off, my wife worked at the Augusta Chronicle at that time.
Excellent reenactment didn't know Fleming avenue used to be Hall Street
I had to look this up again! I was at Newman Tennis Center that night! They bussed the passengers to what was then bushfield. But that pilot, bless his heart, he flew that plane out of there before daybreak!
Lightweight not lightheavyweight
There is a great book called "Masters of Deceit" an epic novel of the monstrous plot behind the Kennedy assassination, written by A. Tarnavsky. I urge anyone who wants to learn more about the mysterious deaths of Dorothy Kilgallen, William PItzer, Jack Ruby, and countless others, and Johnson's involvement in the JFK assassination to read this book. It is an absolute eye-opener.
Dumb Broad, was told to keep her mouth shut. She wouldn’t do it. She overdosed on alcohol and pills, imagine that.
The same ones responsible for assassinating JFK also murdered Kilgallen
Reading all accounts of this fire, this seems like a massive fire. March is maybe a dry month but it rains so much in Augusta I can’t see a fire this big. This makes sense you can see this in downtown today.
Yes…i will start an on-line petition. That will get things going by God!!!!!
Its 2023 thank you
I did the first race with my two brothers Bob and Jackie
I remember going to this arena for the first time sometime in 1998 and it looked old, dilapidated and outdated even then
its 2023.....thank you
she had years after her interview with ruby to state the facts but never did...she had a huge column she could have put it all on the table...her thing was to try to sell her book so she said all that stuff to make people buy her book
Ty for this
Everybody dies
Who is Sylvia Cooper?
Where was Mossad agent, Saban!
I discovered Dorothy and What’s My Line only a few months ago, and that cast of characters is without a doubt the most interesting group of people I’ve ever come across. Dorothy was light years ahead of her time. Everything she’s said and done seems modern and holds up extremely well in today’s world. I’ve changed my mind a dozen times between whether she was murdered or if she committed suicide. There are very strong arguments for both. Either way, she was an incredible person and is greatly missed
Thank you for this video. My great uncle was a 17 year old PVT that was never recovered. It has been difficult to find information so thank you for this amazing video!
Mark Shaw has explained so well about Kilgallen ..what a terrific woman , she was killed
I remember in the 90s being in the Richmond County Honor Orchestra and putting on concerts there. I remember the string Christmas lights. The fountains. The brown bricks and the skylights. The hotdog place and the lady at Wards trying to get you to sign up for credit with free gifts. We still have some of that Christmas stuff from wards. My first pair of glasses was from lens crafters just outside of wards. As a kid the jb white box meant underwear and jeans but all great times.
This was my great grandfather who you speak of! It’s true he saw an apparent UFO. It came up in conversation at my grandmothers funeral recently, and he believed it to be that all his life apparently. Very interesting stuff.
Saw Young Ted Nugent there...1980?...it was wild...they hadn't gotten a handle on security yet. It was a sea of alcohol and pot. Then they backed the paddy wagons up to the exits and it was pandemonium!!!
Thank You for the info. My Grandfather served on the USS Augusta during the war.
Her middle name was marge. Her legs spread easily.
This was storytelling at its absolute finest. Thanks!
She a damn fool
James angleton a khazarian amputated foreskin cia thug had her done just like Marilyn
Dorothy got too close to the truth of the conspiracy of JFK's murder. She was murdered, plain and simply- her file on this subject was never found.
