Hi Les,

I have done a search for Lasalle Airport based on the map and coordinates you gave me. I have attached a list of photos that cover the area where the airport should be. I have attached a sample scan of one of the photos from 1930. The only evidence of an airport are the small white airplanes parked in the field. There doesn't look like there is a runway of any sort (although, a flat grassy field often works). Let me know if you're interested in any of the photos.

 

Regards,
Dan

Fish Watching in Lasalle

Who remembers the   aquarium almost at the end of LaSalle Blvd. in Ville LaSalle? They had about 6 to 8 cement pools about 3 feet deep outside and inside there were more pools but I can’t remember how big it was inside. The outside pools from what I can remember were approximately 8ft W x15 ft L   they were loaded and I mean loaded with big Black Fish maybe carp? They must have weighted 30 plus lbs. and about 4feet plus long. I wish I asked questions back then but we were just interested in watching these big fish swim around in their crowed space. We always went on a hot summer night. I guess by the time we came back  the house had cooled down enough to sleep.Does anyone know why they were there and what did the do with all those fish.It must have been very expensive to keep all those fish.
