. . . North Bar Lake finally has a direct opening into Lake Michigan! This was taken last week on my bike ride to the top of Pierce Stocking Drive. I need to find out if that house on the left is For Sale too, what a great Cul-de-sac to live on, sandwiched between Lake Michigan and N. Bar!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

While I didn't make the Greenville shot due to the walk out of Onawa, I raced up to Moosehead to shoot the train crossing over the East Outlet as it worked it's way north. I had a decent amount of time to kill when I got there and I rather enjoyed watching the group of fishermen in the boat and the guys spread out in the river all trying to land a Big catch, I never did see any of them catch anything. After a bit the nice Canadian tuned horn on the 9017 could be heard echoing through the woods. Shortly the train rolled out onto the bridge grabbing the last light at this spot as train 1 works north to Jackman. Ideally we would have kept chasing but with a three hour drive back to the cabin we rented I figured we did good enough and could walk away successfully with only two shots of the train.

This sign has been thru a few different business's. First it was Handy Andy Home Improvement Center, than it was HOBO- Home Owners Bargain Outlet. Picture taken in Crest Hill Illinois.
There is a nice solid footbridge that goes over this outlet river there at the southwest end of Lake Bowman ... I did take some shots from the bridge, but for this one I was in shorts and water shoes, and stepped out into the current (at first without my camera and tripod to make sure the footing was solid enough in the flow of water) before heading out and setting up a shot in knee deep flow. I can tell you that this was COLD. By the time I completed the bulb capture, I was numb from the knees down. I did not want to step away from the camera and tripod, as the current was so swift I wanted to be able to grab them if they started to slip.
I liked this lower POV there in the flow, and think it was worth it ... and given the sunny conditions and mid 70's F temps, the water despite being very cold, felt good.
For this image, I wish the clouds had had a little more motion that day ... good reason to head back there some day and camp - this spot is a long way off into the park, and a long drive on gravel roads. If I return there some day, hope to camp and spend the night there.

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as the downtown was revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

- The Pontiac brand was introduced by General Motors in 1926 as the “companion” marque to GM's Oakland Motor Car line. The Pontiac name was first used in 1906 by the Pontiac Spring & Wagon Works and linked to Chief Pontiac who led an unsuccessful uprising against the British shortly after the French and Indian War. The Oakland Motor Company and Pontiac Spring & Wagon Works Company merged in November 1908 under the name of the Oakland Motor Car Company. The operations of both companies were joined together in Pontiac, Michigan (in Oakland County) to build the Cartercar.
- The ’46 model was in fact a modified 1942 model with minor changes, originally designed by Harley Earl.
- The 1947 Streamliner Eight Series 28 was available as this 2-door Sedan Coupé, as 4-door Sedan, as 5-door Station Wagon and as 5-door DeLuxe Station Wagon.
- This first generation Streamliner (1942-1948) was assembled in South Gate (California), Wilmington (Delaware), Atlanta (Georgia), Kansas City (Kansas), Framingham (Massachusetts), Pontiac (Michigan) and in Linden (New Jersey).
