Yeah, I get what you are saying, but I also think you anwsered your own question: I don't think the pier is meant for lingering too much....just there to get a closer look of the gators, turtles, etc., take pics, and then move on. There will be seating and such on the deck for those who want to linger.Quote:

So you don't think me and my crab nets would be welcomed there. 😀 Just put new beach tires on my cooler. Would've been nice to test them out before all my fishing gear around. LolQuote:

Well, we have posted these pics of the lake before, but I think they are worth re-posting.
The first one with the ice skating was from 1961, and I think the pic made it to Life magazine.
The second one is circa 1964, before the brick ledges were added, but while they still had the pathway through the lake.
Don’t think there are many crabs in this lake. Maybe a cast net might be a better option.Quote:

More photos from Cypress Lake. It looks like they will have benches on the pier.
The housing facility at the corner of Lewis and Johnston Street is almost finished too.
Lewis Street facade. This building will have retail space on the first floor facade on Johnston Street.
Good stuff.
You had to travel a little further than your past "construction update" endeavors.
Thanks
