Better eye than me. The Black Bay Edit; I put the two pictures together in this thread and I can see a couple differences between the Murray Bay and the Black Bay. Though minor, the port bow section where the two holes are for letting out the lines, that part is longer on the Black Bay.

A few pictures from this year's Easter Egg Hunt, which once again was very well attended.

This comes from an information pamphlet that was sent out to residents by realtor Mary Helen Wood. The editor was beach resident Don Stewart from 368 Beach Blvd. I don't see a year for publishing. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Echoes from...

Now I am lost, to the lower left is the white cottage you lived in, do you mean the buildings out in the visitor's parking lot? How long did the white cottage last after the bridge was finished?

Before all the streets were renamed on the (we became part of Hamilton) Beach, Rembe Ave. was named South Park Ave. Attached is a picture that was sent in by a member showing the street back in the early 20's (my guess). And this photo from a few days ago, it looks like there is only one...

I have frequent the club side of the Rescue Unit for many, many years and never paid much attention to a couple old lamps that have been part of the furniture ever since I have been going there, until I tried to pick one up and move it. This lamp weighs about fifty pounds because upon further...

I will say yes they were allowed to use the bridge, but I will check through some old newspapers to see if I can find proof of that. Edit; I have moved some of these Herald/Bay Road Race posts to the Herald Marker thread...

The owners of the Lakeside Variety will be moving the store a little further south on the Beach to the new building near the school. The new building seems to be complete and the owners tells me that he is waiting for some documentation from the City to move in. And the new building has a new...
