Is there somebody who can tell me where this lake was located? I lived in Overland Park during the 1940's and we lived in a little house on the side of a hill. Below it was a lake. There was a big dairy barn on top of the hill where we got milk. I think the name of the street was Robinson street and I think it was a paved road and Robinson maybe ended at the dairy. There was a gravel road that went down to the lake. In winter people would skate on the lake. I was back there in the late 70's and a mail carrier told me the lake had been drained and was no longer there. I tried to find it and I think I did but not sure. Does anyone else remember this lake and could tell me more about it. I have pleasant childhood memories about living there. Thank you, Mary
