   Ha, I’ll believe this when I see it. I wonder how many shell casings and liquor bottles they’ll dredge up?

   Can’t wait to see this! As long as I’ve been in Richmond, that bottom area has been terribly neglected and the Gaston flood certainly didn’t help. Hope the improvements include repairing the walkway just downstream of the lake.

   I grew up in the area, and when I was a kid the lake had ducks, yellow-belly perch, a small island in the center with a little log house, the size of a large dog house, for the ducks to sleep in at night. It was quite lovely.

   Hope the lake can be restored. I remember it when it was beautiful too, and it certainly could be again.

   The sign was removed because the Friends of Forest Hill were unhappy with it. They said the font was not the same as the original, and are paying for a new sign.
