Mallard Lake used to be a local swimming hole...
The last I recall was after RVN about 1972?

That’s the year we moved into Bloomingdale. 900 people in the whole town. Army Trail was a two lane gravel road west of Gary. There wasn’t a stop light at Glen Ellyn and Lake St. Can’t remember how many times my mom almost got smacked by someone as we tried to turn left there.
My Junior High School graduated about 25 or so kids in ‘74. The yearbook was 3 whole pages. LOL.
Things have sure changed around here, and not much for the better.
