Glendale's landscape revealed! There is a fairly new type of satellite mapping called Lidar. A friend sent me this image. Ladar images display precise, three-dimensional information about the shape of the Earth and its surface characteristics. Any sort of scar on the land is revealed! See if you can locate the old Glendale baseball field on this image. Hints: the long line in the images center is the constructed causeway for the "new" bridge (1977) that bisected the old lake bed now covered with trees; the scar left by the baseball field is upstream, on the south side of the creek, along Country Club Road, above the Upper Shoals. See what else is revealed: old terraces from 19th and early 20th c. farming, abandoned road beds, etc.

Found this from on-line Spartanburg Weekly Herald from July of 1905. Does anyone know the location of long vanished "pavilion" of old Glendale Park?

If you drive behind the Post Office please watch the road and try to avoid American toads crossing-- they are moving toward the shallows of the creek for mating season. [live toad photo by Alex Bentley]
