A few nights ago I made my way all the way up to the beach at Charlotte via Lake Ave and took the bendy turn onto Beach Avenue.
Not too far beyond the Ontario Beach Pavilion I noticed the sidewalk diverges from the street, making a rather abrupt turn between some very handsome looking beachside homes. So, I followed it.

A row of homes and elegant gardens sitting atop a bluff overlooking the big lake. Click the panoramic image above for a larger view. You can see this lost street in the plat map below…. Looks like there was a bit more beach in … and a pier! Ah ha… I found the remnants of that missing pier above. In fact, the birds seem to have it just as nice as the people in this neighborhood.
