Wendy CooperYes that was your uncles place, I was by there yesterday with Noreen.

Frank WallaceWendy Cooper drank many a beer there with lola,vera and trixie in the early 70’s

Hope-k JayFrank Wallace, there used to be an old Coca Cola sign on the side…it disappeared years ago…this is the head of Dalhousie Lake, yes?

I was there a few years ago–the upstairs floor is sagging and the stairs were almost done–alot of damage inside –have pictures here or had somewhere—it must have been pretty once–now not so much

It’s the old store. There was also an old wooden grain silo and a bunch of old cars in the back field.

We rented a cottage on the lake for years and knew the owner of the property so we explored many times. I have tons of pictures

I remember when we were kids in the 60’s we would walk from the beach to the store for a treat. Sad to see it blending into the landscape
