Bullseye! Due to a lack of foresight, indeed. I think that Mayors Partney and Schuler had the best opportunities to expand this town, I asked Mr. Schuler what about having more parks in this town? He gave an answer, but it was not what I hoped for. This was in the Spring of 1973, when Schuler was campaigning for the Mayor's job. Wasn't 1000 acres purchased in 1946 in Mitchell, and what was the purpose of that purchase? Did we intend to sit and take it easy after that purchase? I ask this because of what I read in today's Edwardsville Intelligencer. Their Mayor says he and his town are not going to sit on their laurels, they intend to buy space for more parks and a skating rink to be built somewhere close to their HS. Must be nice with all that money, they now have two indoor swimming pools.
