I was born in 1966 at the current site of the Goshen Hospital, though it was much smaller then. When I was growing up in Goshen on Middlebury Street and attending Chamberlain School, the Maplecrest area was not considered part of the "north side"; at that time I don't think it was even in the city limits.  I do, of course, remember the large Abshire house on the North Main Street hill, though; it always seemed an anomaly considering that much of the area surrounding it was quite hardscrabble.  I remember the north side as always being the "wrong side of the tracks."
