The trail stops in the back yard of 24 Circle West. I grew up at 27
Circle West so I knew how to get to this old trolley lane. Parked
at Todd Park where I was the skating rink attendant from 1968-74,
back before the permanent building went up. There were no trees
along the path.
The family that first built the house you see at the end of the
trail near the cache was owned by the gentleman that worked for
Dayton Hudson Co. and came up with the idea for Target. Later the
family moved and the gentlemen started The Wholesale Club. The
Wholesale Club was the start of the discount clubs. He sold it to
WalMart and Sam's Club was born.
The family had 10 children that fit well with my family of 7
children. Their names are Larry, Timmy, Tommy, Terry, Andy, Johnny,
Nancy, Sally, Kathy and Amy. Nancy may be out of order. The mother
always called them by the "Y" ending. Thanks for the memories.
By the way, my parents sold the our house about 10 years ago
after being there for 32 years and the new owners tore it down and
built a new "big" house on the 1.75 acres.
