THIS WEEK THE GAS TANKS ARE BEING TAKEN OUT AT THE CLOSED BP
STATION ON CORNER OF SOUTH JONES AND WEST PLATT.   IT WILL NEVER BE A  GAS STATION AGAIN.    RUMOR HAS IT THE BUILDING HAS BEEN SOLD AND
THERE ARE ALSO RUMORS AS TO WHAT IS GOING TO OPEN ON THAT VERY
GOOD CORNER.    I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.

THE EMPTY LOT AFTER THE 3 BUILDINGS ON WEST PLATT WERE TAKEN
DOWN AND HAULED AWAY.    THE LAND NOW OWNED BY BRAD DEERY MOTORS.
SOON I'M SURE WE WILL SEE NEW OR USED CARS PARKED ON IT.
IT REALLY EXPOSED THE DECKER HOTEL.   WONDER IF, AND HOW, THEY
WILL FIX UP THE BUILDING TO THE RIGHT?

OPENING SOON, NEW OPTOMITRIST OFFICE ON THE CORNER OF MAIN
AND PLATT.     THE WINDOWS PAPERED-IN WHILE FINISHING TOUCHES
ARE DONE.   WILL  PASS ALONG MORE INFORMATION WHEN I GET IT.

NICE PLACE TO HAVE A PICNIC WITH THE KIDS.    OWNED BY SACRED
HEART CATHOLIC CHURCH AND LOCATED AT THE NORTH EDGE OF PARKING LOT.
I'M PRETTY SURE THE PUBLIC CAN USE IT.    WELL, MAYBE  NOT LUTHERANS.

CONGRATULATIONS TO GOOD KMAQ LISTENERS IRLENE AND RICHARD
STIMMEL OF MAQUOKETA.    THEIR DAUGHTER DARLYCE(AND HUSBAND NICK SHAULL OF NEVADA, IOWA) ARE PARENTS OF A GIRL BORN MONDAY.   SHE WILL BE FUN FOR HER OLDER SISTER.
