I can't believe I can't find a more modern picture of Center Springs Pond from my home town. My house was behind those trees on the right.
It froze over every November of my childhood and, from the age of eight until I left town, I skated all over that pond. The city would plow off the center section and there was a roomy lodge with a fire place for warming yourself up.
The Music......strictly Top Forty Hits and, until Christmas Day, every Christmas song ever recorded from Bing Crosby to Little Eva.
Yes. Forgettable....but when you were chasing those high school freshman girls around and around, it was the best thing we had.
