I used to walk through Clarksville when I was a kid. Nau's drug was a stopping point on the other side of Clarksville. That's the REASON it was (and is) called "Nau's ENFIELD Drug Store. In those days (of segregation) the owners of the Drug Store wanted all the White Folks to know they weren't in Clarksville ... aka wasn't a Black drug store.
I understand why businesses IN THE AREA want to advertise they are IN CLARKSVILLE .... they do NOW .... but wouldn't have dared to back then, when they were even FARTHER away from the boundary of Clarksville than they are now. There are enough benefits of qualifying for the historical district to justify doing so, if they haven't already tried. But history is not on their side. Politics, perhaps, but not history.
It's a "trendy" thing now ... same with 6th street in those days. Wasn't considered safe to walk East on 6th Street from Congress. It has seen been one of the "in places" .... to hang out.
