Christmas snow 2010: Graded Hill 2010-12-28 - Photo by Linda Waggener. Montgomery Street to Frazier Avenue A view from Montgomery Street at Guthrie Street on Christmas Day 2010. The scene is over Hurt Street. At the top left are houses on Woody Avenue; at top right are houses on Frazier Avenue. It's the Jamestown Hill side of Grade Hill. Kids from the 1940's and 50's may notice that what was a narrow, often muddy path up from the branch is now blacktopped. In those days, life was much hard, especially for townies. There wasn't a warm school bus to pick up kids, and it truly was "uphill both ways."
