Gotta luv that photo of Downing's in Alton from the 1950's with the covered boat dock, and all that green grass area...believe the grassy area was paved asphalt to make it a parking lot...something the Shoreline Protection Act would frown on....but once it's paved it usually does not ever go back to grass....those were the days. Probably the white frame building at Downing's is still there but elongated...and so what's happening there at Downing's today?
Is the former Downing's now the Town of Alton's public boat launch?
