In the meantime, we can report on a semi-related front that the historic Thompson Grove Country Club and pool center that once formed the heart of modern Cottage Grove as it got started in the 1960s is now no more. For those wishing to see the evidence of change, a ground’s eye viewing of Google Earth at the intersection of Granada Avenue South and 85th Street South will reveal the shift to new development, just as a drive-by will confirm the Club’s present absence.

Will Cedarhurst escape a similar fate? You can help decide!
