Approximately 50% of the empty lot of the former Lakeshore Drive In was purchased in 2005.

That section was cleared of 19 years of plant growth, and another Blue Water area old-age assisted-living nursing home was built on it. It is called "Regency on the Lake" and it occupys the south section of the lot.

The north section of the lot is still empty and covered with plant life, while the lot to the north of that which once held the ice cream parlor and putt-putt golf course previously spoken of was torn down in 2006 to some day house condos.

The grocery store building to the north of that is still there, totally abandoned with smashed windows and complete.

In the 60s, my parents owned the grocery store just to the north of the drive in, on the other side of the Putt Putt. It was a great place to grow up, there was the store, the Putt Putt, occasionally the restaurant was open, the golf course, the drive in and a gas station. There was also Mil & Mels gift shop a little further south. I remember watching The Planet of the Apes, True Grit, Kellys Heroes... Elvis and The Trouble With Girls, and, of course, the 4th of July fireworks, every year... not the biggest show, but, always fun! Pretty neat finding your site!
