Mr. Jack’s Barber Shop on the 100 block of Decatur.

Went get a cut from Mr. Ed there once a month for almost 2 decades, up until I permanently moved away 4 years ago. Was still old school.


ETA: But holy shite just looked them up and see it’s ‘permanently closed’ per Google. Wonder if Ed or Jack passed away. Ed was having some health problems and had back surgery. He had a house out in Kenna bruh by lake town/ Yenni Blvd and would always invite me to go throw some lures in the lake and drink an ice chest of cold ones.

When I visited my grandparents in Tullahoma, Tennessee, my grandpa would take me to an old school barbershop like that. I'm showing my age here, but that was an era when men would typically wear suits and read the newspaper, have a cigar or cigarette and a cup of coffee while they waited for their cut and shave. I remember it vividly, especially the smell of cigar smoke, coffee, and powder.
