Amazing to realize that, as late as the mid-1950s, Shoemaker Lake (Lakeside Park) was out at the farthest edge of town.
Off topic, but those photos also show the strange, undeveloped section of land that is more or less bounded by Mill, Stirling, and the railway tracks. It has been reduced in size over the years, and the Schneiders parking lot/Joy townhouses took a good part of it in recent times, but there's still an undeveloped area in the middle, "south" of the Schneider lands and "west" of Shoemaker Creek. I've always wondered what the story was with that area and how it came to be that the city jumped over it when post-war development came along.
