.AQ- Two points of local interest. Above. The popcorn Wagon and Right. Washington Park are both found in downtown Ottawa. 24fOttawa Feature ttawa, ur Kind of Town According to local legend, this well found in South Ottawa near the Easter Seal Center was used by Abraham Lincoln to water his horse after one of the famous debates with Stephen Douglas. .kk . K Ottawa, our home town. Most of us grew up playing in its parks, boating, or walking along the banks of the Illinois and Fox Rivers, and ultimately cruising the strip. We changed with the seasons and watched our community grow. Ex- panding horizons were prevelant in recent years - the most dramatic difference was the construction and use of the new Veteran's Memorial Bridge and the destruction and col- lapse of the Hilliard Bridge. Some things, however, don't change. Washington Park in down- town Ottawa was used by us often as a shortcut to the adjacent shopping area of LaSalle Street. Reddick's Mansion and the Appellate Court also were familiar sights as we trav- eled north on Columbus Street. Their stately appearance reminded us of the tremendous upkeep needed to maintain these two institutions. Other landmarks around Ottawa also bared a small piece of history. Lincoln's Watering hole on the southside was an historical monu- ment and the Boyce Memorial on Ot- tawa Avenue reminded us of the for- mer Ottawan, W.D. Boyce, who founded the Boy Scouts of America. For recreation many parks were at our disposal for a quick game of ten- nis or a friendly ballgame. Allen Park, along the Illinois River, was a popular picnic area to watch boaters sail along the river. But hangouts remain forever vivid in our memories. Strolling down to Bianchi's after a game and devouring a warm pizza was popular among freshmen and sophomores. However, once the driver's license was shoved into the wallet, McDonald's and Piz- za Hut were the destination for cruis- ing. All these things made up our home town. . . . Ottawa.
