The facility that we now know as the Ada Jenkins Center has a proud history.

30 years - Served, first as the Davidson Colored School and then as the Ada Jenkins Elementary School, as the only school for African Americans in Davidson. As such, it was the center of Davidson's Westside community.

It then housed one of Mecklenburg County's first kindergartens, an integrated program which served hundreds of Davidson's five year olds.

Early 1970's - kindergarten moved to Davidson Elementary school

Ada Jenkins Center building was used as a recreation center which also offered some social services programs.

1991 - The Ada Jenkins Families and Careers Development Center was founded

1998 - Fueled by hundreds of volunteers in the community it became the Ada Jenkins Center as we know it today. A vital lifeline for citizens across northern Mecklenburg County.

The author, Nancy Snell Griffith, a resident of Davidson, researched and committed her findings to "paper". She was helped along the way by many people within the community that shared stories and photographs. A true historical perspective comes from many sources and experiences.

King George V Blended Scotch Whiskey

In 1820, John Walker started out in business with a single small shop, but he always had big ambitions. Just over a century later, John Walker & Sons was awarded a Royal Warrant by King George V.

By then, Johnnie Walker was already well on its way to becoming the world's most popular Scotch Whisky. Becoming a supplier to the Royal Household was an important step on that journey.

John Walker & Sons King George V commemorates the granting of the Royal Warrant on 1 January 1934.

It is created using only the finest whiskies from distilleries that were operating during George's twenty-five-year reign (1910 - 1936), some of which, like the famed Port Ellen, no longer exist. They are blended together to reflect the distinctive Johnnie Walker style of the era.

It is an opulent and regal blend. Sensuous, layered and intense, the John Walker & Sons King George V is a kaleidoscope of flavors and aromas. Hints of roasted nuts, dark chocolate and an imposing sweet smokiness combine elegantly with suggestions of honey, citrus orange and rose petals. This is an extremely complex luxury whisky.

I Love You To Paris and Back!

My Love,

I want to show my appreciation. Are you game?
