Sandybrook

Last updated

Sandybrook a small neighborhood located north of South Bend, Indiana near the Michigan state line.

History

Long before its development it was part of a series of portages used by early settlers and the underground railroad. Before them this land running along the west side of the river was commonly used by the Potawatomi and Miami Indians for travel and trade until they were forced out in the 1840s. Its trails ran one mile parallel but not next to the Saint Joseph River and Hurwich family farm. Many arrowheads, jewelry and artifacts left by Indians and early explorers to the Midwest can be found there now.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s its streets were laid and named after the small spring, brooks and shrubbery surrounding them. Sandybrook and its two sister neighborhoods Pioneer Heights and Forest Glenn (which are now connected) formed an Ideal place for families to live in the 1980s and 90’s as a result of being fed up to other alternative areas South Bend had to offer. Legacy families to the area such as the Bodner, Bogal, Foley, Hoffman, Knight, Latosinski, Luetscher, Merrill, Porter, Rucano, Snyder, Supercinski and Vida made much of its cornerstone and personality as a community. Most families belong to Corpus Christi, Lasalle and Saint Joseph’s High school. As the 1990s closed and the turning of the new Millennium came many families and younger generations moving out left behind once nicely painted houses with lush green yards.

Today[ when? ] with the turn of the economy, unemployment and debt Sandybrook faces almost certain destruction by threat of annexation and takeover of its surrounding nature lands by local government and stimulus money planned for industrial parks.

East Nashville, Tennessee human settlement in Nashville, Tennessee, United States of America

East Nashville is an area east of downtown Nashville in Tennessee across the Cumberland River. The area is mostly residential and mixed-use areas with businesses lining the main boulevards. The main thoroughfare is Gallatin Avenue and Ellington Parkway with smaller arteries interconnecting the neighborhoods. Some of these smaller arteries include Main Street, Shelby Avenue, Porter Road, Riverside Drive, Eastland Avenue, McFerrrin Avenue, and Woodland Street in no significant order. Ellington Parkway, which parallels Gallatin Avenue and Main Street, bypasses I-24 and I-65 and connects Briley Parkway and downtown Nashville and many other secondary streets along the way. The Cumberland River confines most of the area with a semicircle design on the south, southwest and east. Since East Nashville has no defined boundaries on the west and north the exact perimeter is the cause of some debate. Some would say that Ellington Parkway creates a boundary on the west and northwest, while Cahal Avenue and Porter Road in the north, in the confines of zipcode 37206. Many would now state that I-65 and I-24 create the western border and Briley Parkway as the northern boundary, which is called Greater East Nashville.
