Wow! same for me pretty much...I remember as a kid when the trees lost their leaves, it seemed like the lake was right there...I grew up in a town called Newport...How bout you?
We had a creek running through our property that fed the lake and we would head out as kids every spring depending on the severity of the rains and follow it out to the lake..I had learned to respect the waters from that upbringing. I cannot tell you how many countless times we got inner tubes from the local farmer in the spring from their leftover tractor tires and use them in the lake...Use to float out and watch the oil rgs coming in from Canada I suppose.
Sheffield Lake. Just googled the address. Stunned at the change. Our address was 5551 East Lake Rd, Sheffield Lake, OH.
Wow. I’m not sure our house is even there anymore. Could the cliff have eroded that much? (Been 40 years) I can’t believe the amount of houses they have crammed into that area now.
