Did you ever eat at Parkview. Back in the day it was one big room with a huge bar, they added a room with a lot of windows on the South. It caught fire and burned to the ground so they built a new building. The food is really good but the little hole in the wall bar is gone, it's a very impressive building that sits there now.

Did you ever wonder what it looked like before they made Lake Bloomington, of course you did. I found this picture taken in 1929 and the "A" one is the spillway and the "B" one is the pumphouse. I know the City purchased all that land and you didn't buy the property, you got a Leasehold from the City if you wanted to build a Cabin. Today there are very expensive homes around the lake, the day of the "little cabin" is gone.
