Fall is the perfect time of year to take a drive along the historic Lover’s Lane. Immortalized in a poem by the famous poet Eugene Field...this popular resident...ial neighborhood was once the countryside. It’s been a long time since Lover’s Lane was synonymous with farms, horse pastures, and bridle paths...but the beauty and charm of this road lives on. www.uncommoncharacter.com/stories/eugene-field/
