    Here is a tray from my town in 1970. It celebrates the Hackley Union National Bank and Trust Co.'s 100th anniversary. ?

    One can clearly see our, then, state-of-the-art waste-water treatment facility at the bottom right and in the mid left the coal-burning power plant that shut down this year.
    From the plant, the column of pollution is seen like a bleaching streak in the air to the top of the picture.

      Hey, Spirit, I like this. I'd like to see a post about your town, you know, its history and all. [;>)

      Do we have a section for buildings? If so, I could edit these pics (they're mostly at bad angles) and post them.
      Click the first pic and use the arrows or click to move through. Look for comments at the upper right by me, too, with each (if the link works).

      From a cycling trip where I brought a couple local postcards with me to show how the area looks today.

      Hey, the photos on the link are great! The aerial postcard makes your town look BIG, but the photos on the link show a small, quaint town. [;>)

      Thank you, Nevada Blades.
      The aerial photo on the serving tray shows the area Muskegon Lake, which is the second largest lake here. Mona follows it in size. Lake Michigan supercedes as largest almost in the world. LOL.
      The city, in my opinion, has three 'downtowns' and is highly spread out with several tiny towns/townships carelessly thrown into the toilet-shaped fold (the county is shaped like a toilet). Total population is, I think, 32,000.
      The large buildings like the library, schools/admin building, and current Red Cross building were mostly funded by Charles Hackley... along with a former hospital and a newer one, apartments/home for the elderly, etc.... his name makes up the first word of the company on the tray. He was our largest lumber baron.
      I'm in the Norton Shores area. My house was built before we became The City of Norton Shores. Previously we were just Muskegon on Black Lake, renamed Mona Lake in the late 1800s.

      Thanks, Spirit, I always enjoy reading personal, first hand accounts about people's hometowns. Makes me realize how connected we are as humans, you know. [;>)

      But, Nevada, I'm a bear. :/
