As part of an ongoing effort to make our history more available to long term residents and new comers alike, we have compiled and posted a series of Sanborn maps, from 1900, 1916, and 1935. For those not familiar with them, Sanborn Maps were originally created for assessing fire insurance liability in urbanized areas throughout the country. The maps include detailed information regarding town and building information in approximately 12,000 U.S.
The Parkside Community Association will hold a 5-K Run on Saturday September 28, 2013 at 5 pm in Delaware Park along the ring road. There will be a children's dash at 4:50 pm.

More information including online registraion for the race is coming.
