Did you know that in the 1960's they use to have Soapbox Derby racing on N. McDonough St.







The Soapbox Derby starting line was up close to E.Trinty and the cars would race down past Decatur High.
I remember Governor Lester Maddox was there riding his bicycle backwards for the big crowd that was there .
These pictures here are from other Soapbox Derby races, just so you could picture the way it might have been.
If anyone has photos of this event that took place in the 1960's please send me a copy of the picture or pictures and I will post it here on Next Stop...Decatur.
