At the top of the picture I believe was called 10th street-seem to run right around to the dam. On left top you can see the high school with the gym just to the right of that Just below you can see the elementary school and below that the school yard As the school ground got closer to the school it dropped about 3 of 4 feet This must have been to keep the yard level. Then to protect people from falling in there was a about a 6 inch cement lip that ran around the top There were steam pipes that fed live steam to the school and apartments from the pulp mill These pipes were 15 feet high, they seem to go everywhere. You can see them in many of the town pictures To the right of the school yard was the pine apartments. There were 3 floors for people to live on. The very bottom I don't think people lived on it - there were storages room for peoples stuff There was a huge hot water boiler tank. At the back was a laundry room with at least 6 wash machines, behind that was a large room This room was full of wash lines for people to hang there stuff. I believed they would close its use after 8 P.M. I think How do I know this? We would sneak in there just before 8 and stand on the three legged stools behind the bed sheets. The guy would come and open the door, bent over and look for peoples feet to see if anyone was there, turn out the light and lock the door. Just can't remember what we did after he was gone. There was a garbage chute that ran from the top floor to the bottom garbage room.. There were steam rads at either end of each floor to heat the hallways. Plus steam rads in each apartment. Between school and the pine apts was a road built out of wood. it ran from the school ground right up to 10th street. When it snowed it really snowed. This whole road would come a slide hill. Kids on bobsleds, sleighs, sitting on shovels, using their Sunday shoes, anything worked. as the hill turned into ice. Once in while a snow plough would come down this wooden road, with a roar and shake the place badly. One night I thought this was happening but that was the night of the 1965 slide. We lived on the road side Apartment 201. That was about half way down the building, 2nd from the top. This was a two bedroom apartment, all four of us kids lived in one room. We had two sets of bunk beds end for end. The window looked out on top of the road while the kitchen window looked under the road. We put a 2x4 across form the kitchen window to a spot under the road so the cat could get out whenever. On the right side of pine apartments was the church. To the left of the hotel was the hospital, looked like a big house. In between the hotel and the store was a road that ran up towards the dam. Up this road was the place where every Saturday was the movie in the afternoon. I spend many a Saturday standing in the rain with my umbrella waiting to get in. Then just up a block on the dam side of the road was the swimming pool and bowling hall and I think there was a community hall. Right across from the hotel just below the hospital was the post office. And then the boat dock. Just some memories
