BY vioY ,H oi Places Time Never Touches A typical suburb, Bay Village, is complete with housewives, joggers, and station wagons. The stereotype white collar family with 2.2 children and the family dog thrived in this city of 19,000. It even came equipped with the basic necessities of any All-American community, the bank, (5 of them), the supermarket (Heinen ' s), and the gas station (6, all totaled). As sophomore Tim Marsden commented, Bay is just typical suburbial What more can I say? But wait! The village had a little more distinction than typical suburbia. It retained its small-town qualities to an extent. Holidays were celebrated traditional ways: Memorial Day with parades and patriotic speeches, Fourth of July carnival and fireworks, and at Christmas, lights and decorations on City Hall. The last will and testament of the Cahoon Sisters still regulated Sunday activities, and there were even family- owned stores (Avellone ' s and Sell ' s) instead of large shopping complexes. Little League sports and outdoor ice ponds survived, too. Bay has stability despite its changing, transient population. City Council was consistent in opposing zoning changes for McDonald ' s and all other forms of entertainment. Though hardly a single car has ever observed it. Lake Road ' s speed limit remained a steady 35 mph. Do you realize, said Jim Ernst, that Bay still has a one o ' clock curfew for 16-18 year olds? That is totally worthless because everyone breaks it anyway. Things That Haven ' t Changed - 19
