Anne Guida introduced Barbara Davis, the City historian.  Topic - Naming our area.

            It was announced that Restoration zone Remodeling, Inc.’s owner William Saunders, gave $900 to the association for the Stephenson Blvd. plantings.  The Racquet Club gave $250, and the Rock-Climbing Club gave $100.

The risk of renaming our area is that there is no paper trail for future historians.

We were once Petersville Village and Old Jerusalem.  P.J. Tierney lived here, he invented the diner.   Jon Stephenson invented the horse drawn streetcar.  Crystal Lake was filled in during the 19th century for health reasons.

Originally an area of farms and estates, the East End was divided up into building lots to create homes in a park like setting.  “The names were Pine, Homestead, Home, Stephenson, & Stonelea. 

Ann will generate a list from the suggestion and we will vote on them.

John D’Alois (sp)  will be representing us at City Hall on the Echo Bay Development Committee.  It is now a huge development.  We cannot take anything for granted.  We have to pay attention to it.  Let our elected officials know how we feel.  We need some guarantees from our elected officials.

                                                                        Respectfully submitted.
