I will call this the “Pre-Historic Area” because it preceded the manufactured home area that was started in the early 1970s.

Question, can you identify the “Pre-Historic Area” location in general terms?

I would imagine the area that you would call the prehistoric area is the Silver Lake area including Tarrson and Aloha where many of the singlewides are located. Silver Lake Recreation Center use to have a restaurant. That rec center is getting a major facelift. I was with someone last night who has been inside and said it is topnotch except he was hoping they would have done a better job refurbishing the pool tables. He said it was still first class and he was very happy.

After Silver Lake came Orange Blossom Gardens and then Country Club Hills.
