Vacation Postcards: Crystal Lake, Newton

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 8 Comments

MissPres is on vacation this week, but we’re sending postcards back from Mississippi’s past.

March 7, 1955: “We are having nice weather. No snow here now. Grandma”

About ELMalvaney

In addition to ruling over the MissPres universe with an iron fist, Malvaney enjoys reading, wandering around old buildings, stopping to smell the magnolias, fiddling with databases, and sitting on the porch with a good book and a big ol' dog. Non-interests include but are not limited to tweeting, texting, IMing, planking, Angry Birds, and the Twilight series.

  2. Being a native of Newton County, I am pretty sure that there is no Crystal Lake in Newton.

  4. Newton is a very posh suburb of Boston, with lots of beautiful homes. This bath house still stands at the south end of Crystal Lake. Many years ago I used to eat breakfast at “The Knotty Pine” just north of here every time I left Boston on the Mass Pike.
