It was front page news those 33 years ago when the dam at Gropp's Lake gave way, spilling untold gallons of water into the basin on the other side of South Broad Street. Before the EPA and environmentalists came on the scene, spring-fed "Lakeside" was one of our very favorite swimming beaches. Citizens from miles around came to loll on the sandy beach and take a dip in the lovely natural waters.Ron Bound said...
When I went back to school in 1969, I really wanted to keep our home on the lake, on Lakeview Court...to come back to, after retirement from the AF, planned for 1979. But we sold it. When this happened, I thought, how sad, but thought I made the right decision to sell the house in our nice little cul-de-sac.
Thanks for the clippings, Tom.

Tom - In checking out the posts for Lakeside (25) and Lakeside Park (28), I noticed that there were not the number of posts that was noted for each. Hopefully these have not been lost forever. We really appreciate all of your hard work and effort that goes into keeping this blog current - we are truly blessed to have this resource here in Hamilton! Thanks!
