CASS COUNTY - PHOTO OF THE WEEK Can't believe we haven't ever posted a photo of the week from this thriving metropolis in the northern part of the county which includes one of the largest employers and landowners in the area. Although not a great photo, you can see basketball and tennis courts between the creek and the railroad tracks which head straight south out of town. The west side of downtown main street is also pictured. Do you know this town and were you ever a Lion? |
