Snow Pictures Please!

They lived across Portage from us by Corpus Christi, where I went to school with their youngest daughter for a few years, until she transferred to Holy Cross. Then I met her again at St. Joe High. They were very nice and came to my dad's funeral.

That ditch where the roundabout is going was the lot my dad's partner was going to build on. The city ran an 8' drainage pipe from the airport, under Bendix Dr., under Corpus Christi, and into that lot. It was open ditch in that lot and 8' pipe again under Boland. It drains down to Pinhook by going under Boland again about 3 or 4 hundred yard from Riverside... but that has been plugged up for 40 years. My dad's partner sued the city, won a huge settlement, and retired to California.

If you come up from Riverside, on the left is Pinhook. Look to the right about 200 yards from Riverside and you will see a large cahin link fence parallel to the road. Up there is a cemetery with probably a thousand unmarked graves. If you have no money, you go there. At the west end of the fence there used to be a driveway going up to a farmhouse. That farmer ran the farm for the County Home that is still on Portage. It burned down when I was 7 or 8. There used to be an apple orchard there with about 20 cement gravestones with bronze stars on them. They bulldozed the driveway and tossed the gravestones into the ditch. I have told several folks in local government about it, but no one seems to care. I may try Nancy Sulok. Develpers are itching to get ahold of that County Home land... but I doubt they realize there are a thousand dead people there.

I know all those landmarks, but not nearly as well as you! I love the architecture of the county home, hope they can keep it intact for the future. The first house I owned was on Lynnewood, off Cleveland just across the toll road from the county home. Meijers is now in it's back yard. I used to shop at Martins on Portage, but that whole area has gone downhill in recent years. There are some beautiful homes on Portage between Boland and Elwood.

Speaking of South Bend, and not to hijack this thread, but did you see our native son Ryan Newman win Daytona? I might add, he's also a Purdue Engineering grad (go Boilers).

OK, back to snow pictures...

I'll send you some PMs later about some folks on Lynnewood that I know.

Nice picture of the buggy. Back in the winter of 86-87 I had a job making deliveries in Bristol, Middlebury and Goshen. The horses and buggies amazed me then and still do.

Here's a couple from right before Christmas.

1st is an abandoned railroad grade that runs through the SW side of our county... looks inviting for a walk.

2nd is of me and my two (one visible) daughters hauling out our prize from the Christmas tree farm.

These pictures don't compare to some of the other post for sure. But this morning we are having a really pretty quite snowfall. I also took about 20 seconds ov video but I don't know how to post that so others can watch the snowfall. Any help would be welcome on that. Calling for several inches before tapering off this afternoon.
Enjoy, EL.

Here ya go with some snow pics. First 2 pics are of my place, next is my grandparents place after I shoveled their roof, and last pic is the county grader opening our road, this pic was taken from 6' above ground level, that tells you just how high the banks are here. My Meteor blower is having a tough time throwing it up any higher.
