SUNDAY DAILY

THE MAIN STREET CAFE WAS CLOSED A FEW WEEKS  FOR RE-DECORATING AND OPENED FRIDAY.    NOTE:   UPSTAIRS IS WHERE KMAQ STARTED IN AUGUST OF 1958..... AND WAS THERE UNTIL 1970.     THE GREEN IS THE GRASS WHERE THE HUGE FIRE WAS.    EQUIPMENT PICTURED IS BEING USED FOR THE RE-BUILDING OF MAIN STREET.
THE CAFE CEILING WAS "SUSPENDED" AS MOST ARE.   BUT, THEY TOOK
AWAY A LARGE SEGMENT AND NOW THE ORIGINAL CEILING IS EXPOSED.
NEAT.     WITH THE HIGH  CEILINGS IN THE OLD DAYS, HEAT WOULD RISE
TO THE TOP AND KEEP THE BUSINESS COOLER.  
ANOTHER VIEW OF THE NEW DECOR AT THE CAFE, OPEN EVERY DAY.
REALLY LOOKS NICE...AND THEY HAVE  NICE DAILY SPECIALS.


A YEAR AGO, THIS PHOTO WOULD HAVE SHOWN THE OLD LAZY J
MOTEL ON WEST PLATT ST.      WHAT A CHANGE!     PART OF THE OLD MOTEL BUILDING IS NOW AN OFFICE BUILDING AND AT RIGHT, NEW (28) RENTAL
UNITS.

MAQUOKETA LOST TO CASCADE FRIDAY NIGHT, THERE....47 T0 12
