The Little House in McCleary

Apr. 21, 2017

Construction house on Rabbit Hill, Cedar St. This little place probably has the best panoramic view of the whole town.

McCleary has been going through a major building boom. One house appears to be nearly completed on Rabbit Hill and several more are planned.

It's Miller Time!

Apr. 21, 2017.

Someone left a full bottle of Miller Beer as a memorial token on the headstone for Russ McMillan (1920-1998).  The number of people around McCleary who remember the colorful Mr. McMillan has been rapidly declining.

Waterhole 1

Apr. 4, 2017

The main tavern on Simpson Ave. has had several names over the years. One of the former names, "Waterhole 1" (or Waterhole # 1) was used in the 1980s, I think. The name is still above the padlocked door. McCleary has been without a tavern for what, three or four years now at least.

The Waterhole issued wooden tokens. I still have one.

Stonehenge-- the McCleary version

Oct. 28, 2016. Beerbower Park, next to Rainbow Park. The Rainbow residents used to have a garden spot in this area in the late 20th century. This could be considered an extension of the street known as "Veterans Way." First Street creates the horizon line in the background.
