On The Rise

[Old plug]

Have you ever been there like 30 years ago when all this I was there I seen it happen. It is open now. But I have not been back there since it closed. I am Not talking about the lake anyway. I am talking about the company. I think the lake was a real fine place. We used to use a dirt ramp and the end of a road. Like whole lot of people did till they blocked it off with several tons of rock. I have never been back. It was at that time a great fishing lake. But the company did shut it to the public. They did finally open it. I think that IL state have something over there now. Is it a state park are what.

If you want you can go into the Archives of the Old St Louis Globe Democrat and there is stories in there about it I am sure. There might be some in the Post Dispatch as well. I am wondering right now if it was not closer to 40 yrs ago. I was never comfortable with the Merge of UE with CIPS. I think the way the way The present power company acted with a lot of home owners here who were sold what they thought was there property was a little high handed like I would expect from CIPS attitude.
