My feet have been cold all morning, despite wool socks, an electric blanket and hot coffee. I'm not looking forward to it. At least not today.

Alison I grew up at 323 Lake St.! Remember hearing the Styx concert, and "Lady" from my bedroom window like it was yesterday! My older sisters were at the concert... I was too young and couldn't go :( ... Also, does anyone remember when Aerosmith was new, and they played Shadowland? Amazing!
So glad they are rebuilding the bal...lroom! I'm amazed I got to grow on this amazing beach! SO lucky! Cannot believe my family sold the house!! Ugh.

Hey Pete! WOW! I just saw this post from you... almost three months later! How are you? Yes, of course I remember Thayer Dr. and living there - you all were our first neighbors we met coming from Illinois! Your beautiful daughter Kim is on my friends list!!! She is still a sweetheart!

You were involved in the sale of our house on Lake St., I think? I should post a photo of it, since it had historical value- it was an old cigar factory. Are you still in Real Estate? Can I get the land back? There must be some clause in the contract? Heehee. I wish.

Thanks for writing- so good to see you... you look great! How is Burt doing? I saw photos of Dottie - she is still gorgeous! You both look so young! Can you believe how amazing FB is in that we are able to go back and get reacquainted with friends from the past? Tom, my brother, is still in St. Joe and is the high school band director, and Barbra, my sister is in Grand Rapids... my Mom and the twins went back to Illinois years ago. I've been in California since 1997- but miss Michigan and subscribe to real estate listings for the Western shores, thinking I will buy a house and move back some day! ... See More

Magazine: Silver Beach a 'Great Escape'

Airline publication mentions county park among world beaches
By H-P STAFF Published: Friday, July 3, 2009 1:09 PM EDT

MINNEAPOLIS - St. Joseph's Silver Beach has been recognized by Delta Airlines Sky Magazine as one... of the world's great beaches.

In the July issue, the 22-acre beach was recognized in a group of six "Great Escapes," along with beaches in Nice, France; Railay, Thailand; Santa Monica, Calif.; Cape Hatteras, N.C.; and Cape Cod, Mass.

The write-up in the Minneapolis-based Sky Magazine gives a nod to St. Joseph's "cute downtown," which is "an easy walk ... for souvenirs and lunch."

"If you have time, explore the various small towns, antique stores and beaches along the Southwestern Michigan coastline, dubbed the 'The Midwestern Riviera,' " the article says.
