Lakewood is the REAL Dallas  . I'm not from there and will be visiting soon. Can you tell me more or is there a sub-forum for Lakewood? (I couldn't find one). |

I thought that was what I was doing! Let me try this one from 1925:

The conical roof at the left is the icon of Doc Harrell's Drug Store, the first business opened in Lakewood. He later changed the sign to just "Harrell's" - the soda fountain was the hangout for WW kids until the early to mid 1970s. You could even buy your football tickets there.
He was a founder of Lakewood Bank and Trust (now the Wells Fargo mid-rise) and you could walk through the soda fountain into the bank.
Doc's only child, a 1939 WW graduate, was a pilot in WWII and was lost over the Atlantic. |

Cure for the 90-Degree Heat prevailing in Dallas is no problem to these Woodrow Wilson juniors cavorting about the spillway at White Rock Lake.

Frolicking in the water are Anne Heddens, Kathleen Davis, Carolyn Roderick, Avalou Calavan, Beverly Ingram, Carolyn Wadsworth, Carol Hinson, Beverly Allen and Mary Lu Pike.
Yes, folks, until the early 1970s it was ok to play in the spillway... |
