A NEW NAME!    THIS SIGN WAS PUT UP LAST WEEK ON EAST PLATT STREET 

IN DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA, POINTING TO THE GALLERY.    FOR MANY YEARS

IT HAS BEEN THE  "OLD CITY HALL GALLERY" OWNED BY ROSE FRANTZEN.

NOW, THE NEW NAME MAKES GOOD SENSE.    ROSE IS ONE OF THE BEST AND A

VERY FAMOUS ARTIST NATIONWIDE.    HER GALLERY SHOULD HAVE HER NAME.

I HOPE THEY NOW ALSO CHANGE THE NAME ON THE SIDE OF THE GALLERY BY

THE MAIN ENTRANCE.

THIS WAS ON FACEBOOK AND ABOUT THE BIG CHANGES BEING MADE AT  GOODENOW FIELD IN MAQUOKETA.
