That's right everyone!

Even though I seen to be one of the 'youngsters' in this crowd, by the time I was 10 or 11, I hung out downtown. Thehe lakefront station was already closed, but all the train tracks were still there. I remember peeking through a boarded up window of the station and saying what a shame it was to have that beautiful site meet the wrecking ball! It was about the same time that the Elizabeth Plankinton mansion near 16th and Wisconsin was torn down, despite the words of those who wanted to save our historical buildings.
As far as the depot at the lake was concerned, remember that the destination sign of the route 12 bus always read "NW DEPOT" so that solves the question of the depots name!
