As kids, we loved loved loved The Blue Horizon, but sometimes,
when The Blue Horizon was out of milk or the GR Press or nightcrawlers,
we had to go a little farther along Big Star Lake Road
and shop at The Bowery instead.
The Bowery was a mom & pop type convenience store
with a gas pump in the parking lot.
It was on the edge of what had been Mil-Jon Resort.
Later on Mil-Jon, (which had quaint green cabins as opposed to
The Blue Horizon's robin egg blue cabins),
became Helder's North Bay Resort.
There was always a little air of the illicit about the Bowery.
For one thing, they sold alcohol (gulp!).
And.......
there was this racy picture by the door.
Hmmmm.... I don't think this lady is Dutch, do you?
Unfortunately, Lady Luck ran out of luck in 1994.
This is what happened:
FIRE!!
This is why it was a total loss:
The mystery, then, is two-fold:
1. How old do you think that fire truck is?
2. Who wanted the Bowery To Burn?
Tee-totalers, random people who got sick on their pizza,
The Bikini-Top Burglar,
or the owner?
