I would take out the Dunlap barn and replace with the water flowing on the East Bluff Woods.

You forgot one that people seem to ignore. The Sears lot downtown.

I haven’t seen them all yet, but we just recently (finally) saw the mineral springs site, which was great. Thanks for the tip!

I think the trails, bridges and the “here for a moment, gone for a moment” creeks that are on the east side of Glen Oak Park below the new zoo and above NE Perry.

According to MapQuest, 701 W. 7th Avenue (where the Mineral Springs is said to be) doesn’t exist. I never have found it. I believe it might be a fairy tale.
