Lakeshore Drive, back in the day...
 

Pretty cool... Check out the cypress trees growing in the lake !!!

Thats some cool stuff. Thanks for sharing

Never seen that before. Thks for sharing.

I don't know where this is or what it looks like now, would some one mind posting a pic of what it looks like now , if u drive by justSnap a pic with your phone. I love seeing how places have changed/ grew over the years

Lol!!!!

Pox, its all paved roads not far from downtown, no cypress trees and lots of 2&3 story homes with docks in the water. I'm sure someone has a picture.

Where did you find those old pictures? Are they from a website?

Wait, that is Chicago.

Here is the best I can do right now. I know I have seen a couple of pics somewhere else


Dang it, zoom in on A and look around. That is the same area.

Sorry, move to the southwest, where shellbeach meets lake and look around

A friend of mine posted a bunch of old Lake Chuck pics bundled together on Facebook... I picked the ones related to fishing areas and waterways to post....

I will try to get the file from her, but she isnt done compiling... Once complete, I will figure a way to share the file will anyone who is interested...

This is from a little further west.

Surely someone is off today and can drive to the end of Lake St. to take a pic.

Just if you happen to pass by don't be goin out of your way

This view is from the North side of the lake, the old pic was taken from the South side... The Civic Center (bldg in center of picture), and the land it sits on didnt exsist on the old pic...

Can't find the pic I am looking for.

The original picture is from the southwest side of the lake looking towards the east/northeast.

This pic is on the north side of the lake looking back to the southwest. Same area as the original except from a different angle.

The tall white building on the left in the original is the same one on the right in the last pic I posted and it is center frame on Hydro's

i'd b interested in that file when it is completed, thanks

I'll try to find the ones from when F Miller & Sons blew up the old wooden 171 bridge coming into Moss Bluff. When I find them I'll post them in a new thread.
