I think lake Sumter was lowlands named Cherry lake, before the bulldozers when to work on it many years ago?

I think you may have answered part of my question from another thread I started about the creation of Lake Sumter.

Well, when I staggered over to City Fire for another pint of rum, one of the wenches at the outdoor bar asked "that must hurt!" "Arrrggghhh" I replied, "It's driving me nuts!"

Oh, yes indeed.. I often lay awake on those chilly heavy fog laden days and nights, listening to the forlorn LSL lighthouse fog horn..So reassuring, lonely, yet mysterious deep throated soundings, far off in the distance..Warning to those of the dangerous perils, of the treacherous Lake Sumter crossings...
