TUESDAY DAILY

ABOVE PHOTO OF BUILDINGS ON WEST PLATT, EARLIER THIS SPRING.
THE BUILDINGS ARE NOW ALL DOWN.   NOTE THE SIDE OF DECKER HOTEL.
I  ASSUME IT WILL BE PAINTED TO MAKE SIDE ALL ONE COLOR.  TO THE RIGHT, THE BUILDING WITH THE "BRICK TAP"  (FOR MANY YEARS, THE LOFT)
RESTURANT AND BAR UPSTAIRS.    BRAD DEERY NOW OWNS THE LOTS AND WILL USE THEM FOR MORE NEW AND USED CAR DISPLAYS.
THE "BRICK TAP" IS CLOSING THIS WEEK IN ABOVE BUILDING.    WONDER
HOW THEY WILL FIX UP THE WALL.    THIS BUILDING (NOT OWNED BY
DEERY) HAS BEEN FOR SALE.


ABOVE, THE ADDITION TO "TIMBER LANES".    WILL SEAT UP TO 500 PEOPLE.


 DETOUR ON WEST PLATT.
YES..YOU CAN STILL GET TO THE "DOLLAR GENERAL"  STORE...BUT NOT
