Hi Ray,
Thank you for sharing those interesting details about the photo! It sounds like there was a bustling community around the lumber yard, dance hall, skating rink, and tavern. Can you provide any more information about what the community was like back in 1972? Or perhaps, have you noticed any significant changes in the area since then? We'd love to hear more about your memories and experiences in Portage County.
