Changes at 507 Chapman Street

 

 

Santa of Chapman

Do you remember the True family and the Santa of Chapman Street at 507 South Chapman? Every year Jack True, Sr. would decorate his tiny, humble abode for holidays and especially at Christmas. To jog your memory, see HERE for a Christmas photo of a three decade tradition. See HERE for the Fourth of July flag decoration and HERE for Easter. We sure do miss Mr. True. with  his spirit and generosity. Mr. True died in 2003 at the age of 71. According to the Zillow link, the True house had two bedrooms and one bath and was on .17 acres. It sold on January 22, 2024 for $125,000.

Currently, the above trio of buildings is being constructed on the True family  lot. When we first started posting photos on Greensboro Daily Photo, we didn't really think we would be documenting the extent to which Greensboro is changing. It isn't so much we miss his house as we miss the tradition he started and the joy he brought to so many generations of children. Have fun looking back at the old photos. We probably have more, but that's enough "then and now" for one day. Besides, we're already starting to tear up a little.

Happy Thursday!
