For 2011: I resolve to work to ensure the survival of the Historic West Side Neighborhood's Residences

Some years ago, a dear friend gave me the photograph  (because I love cats) shown below of a home at 834 College St.  The young girl in the photograph is 9 years old.  I assume the photograph was taken in the autumn because of the leaves on the ground but both mother and daughter are wearing summer dresses.

"Mama and Linda Howden" Clicking on photograph will enlarge it.

I drove by the site today and saw a huge parking lot that covered the lots of two homes. Sadly this home, built around 1896, does not exist anymore.

Merry Christmas to The Historic Westside Neighborhood

Remember when Gas Stations gave out Calendars? Canterbury Texaco Service

This 1947 Calendar was given to customers of the Canterbury Texaco Service Station that was at Glenwood and South Grand.  I believe that a Credit Union now occupies the site.

Cool graphics!
