With this week's opening of the new 13th Av Dream Center, 922 24th St. E., many adults may be remembering the good times they had and life lessons learned at the original 13th Avenue Community Center. The center has been part of the community for more than seven decades, offering the thousands of youth who have walked through its doors a safe haven for learning and fun. Below, some photos from the Bradenton Herald archives give glimpses of what went on at the building at 13th Avenue West and First Street.
Physical education to get youths to burn off all that stored-up energy has always been a part of the center's program, as this Aug. 4, 1988 photo shows.
Tamara Brooks instructs Lynette Yaumans during a sewing class at the center on Dec. 12, 1992. April Dawes and Tiguilla Ross practice their skills in the forefront, as Synora White, sits in the back and listens.
Mary Poole, in charge of the computer room in December 1992, watches over Lamar Jennings, in the foreground, Chris Poole, Craig Poole, Andy Warrick and Darryl Blalock.
