This story starts with an anecdote about the William A. Hunton Branch YMCA, and gradually becomes more about the Claytor Family, the Claytor Memorial Clinic, and the Service Station "on Gilmer Ave". The author also talks about how he lost touch with people from the Gainsboro community that he grew up with. He continues on to discuss some of the repercussions of Urban Renewal and some of the confusion that caused. Slight creasing.
