By 1890 a substantial number of shops had sprung up along what is now Lake Street, creating a very unique shopping area originally known as the “Midway.” These shops catered primarily to affluent resorters, and became the core of what is now called the “Gaslight District.” This year-round shopping area is home to many businesses that have been here for 50 years or more. Notice the historic gas lights which line the street.
