This photo dates from the early 1950s (note the cars in the background of the third photo.
Note also the Wilson's Ice Cream sign on the tree in the top photo. The store was in Decatur; the business started in the 1940s with two horse-drawn carts.
I have been reading your blog about this piece of heaven that is not far from me. You are blessed to be able to live there and see all of GOD's beauty. I have always wanted to live there. Your blog sure opens the flood gates of emotions and urges to move. I even got on line last night to look at what houses are for sale there.
Back around 1997-98 I took my uncle there and we view several homes. One was the log style home that is on the corner of Lakeshore Dr. and Spruce Dr. Loved the wood paneled walls inside but the kitchen floor was rotted out and the roof was in bad shape. The place was in need of to much repair. There were others we looked at, and one was a cute yellow and white house with large picture window on the front, just near the lake and was being renovated. We were going to settle on that one when he developed heart problems and could not move. Sadly he passed away but my dream still lives on to one day own a place there.
Thank you for posting on your blog about this beautiful piece of heaven.
