The street carnival of August 1901 was the most exciting week in the city's history but later faded into obscurity. The Twin Branch Power Plant supplied the region with electricity, but hardly a trace of it remains today. The massive Rubber Regenerating Company operated for over twenty years, and now a popular park exists atop its buried rubble. Center Point Tower, the landmark that never was, pointed the way to downtown's future revitalization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter J.
