NO REPORT TODAY...
OR TOMORROW...
OR THURSDAY!
MORE PROGRESS IN DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA!! THIS BUILDING IS ON THE CORNER ON EAST PLATT AND OLIVE STREETS , AND WITH THE ONE ON THE LEFT, HOUSED TERM CITY FURNITURE. THEY MOVED OUT. BOTH BUILDINGS ARE NOW EMPTY.
YEARS AGO, THE CORNER BUILDING WAS HARRIS PENROSE COMPANY. THEN IT BECAME TANDEM TIRE. A NEW BRICK FRONT WAS PUT ON BOTH BUILDINGS A FEW WEEKS AGO. WHAT A NICE IMPROVEMENT.
IF YOU CLICK-ON THE PHOTO, IT WILL BE LARGER AND YOU CAN THEN
READ THE FOR RENT SIGN. HELP GET THIS BUILDING RENTED! GO BELOW
TO SEE THE OTHER BUILDING TO THE LEFT. THEY HAVE AN OPEN WALL BETWEEN THE TWO TO MAKE IT ONE BIG STORE FRONT LOCATION.
TWO BUILDINGS WERE GIVEN NEW BRICK FRONTS. THIS IS THE BUILDING TO THE LEFT. PARKING LOT AND ALLEY AT LEFT OF BUILDING.
THE FURNITURE STORE TOOK UP BOTH BUILDINGS, BUT I THINK THERE COULD
BE A BUSINESS IN EITHER OF THE TWO, IF BOTH WOULD BE TOO BIG FOR
A BUSINESS.
WE NEED A FURNITURE STORE (NON LEFT IN JACKSON COUNTY)....SO I WOULD
LIKE TO SEE A NEW FURNITURE STORE GO BACK INTO THE SIDE-BY-SIDE
BUILDINGS, NOW WITH NEW BRICK FRONT.
DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA NEEDS MORE ACTIVITY AND THIS PROJECT JUST
COMPLETED WILL HOPEFULLY GET RENTED AND HELP MATTERS.
CLICK-ON BUILDING TO ENLARGE IT,
DENNIS VOY.
