MONDAY DAILY

 

THE MAQUOKETA GIRLS  LOST THEIR TOURNAMENT GAME SATURDAY NIGHT 

TO DEWITT.    IT WAS A CLOSE GAME.  

THE  CARDINAL BOYS PLAY AT DAVENPORT ASSUMPTION TONIGHT.    LISTEN

TO THE GAME AT WWW.KMAQ.COM AND CLICK-ON THE RADIO ON THE

BOTTOM OF THE HOME PAGE.    GO CARDINALS!

A HOUSE GOES DOWN IN MAQUOKETA TODAY!

THIS HOUSE WAS TAKEN DOWN TODAY,  AT THE CORNER OF WESTERN AVENUE

AMD WEST SUMMIT STREET.    THE RANCH HOME HAS NOT BEEN LIVED IN

FOR YEARS.   WHEN I CAME TO TOWN IN 1958 IT WAS THE  HOME OF RAY KROEGER

AND HIS WIFE AND SON.     TO THE NORTH IS WHERE PART OF THE  BIG TUBB'S APPLE ORCHARD WAS LOCATED.    THE HOUSE AND PROPERTY,  OWNED BY THE CITY OF MAQUOKETA, WILL BE THE LOCATION OF A NEW STREET.      AN OUT OF TOWN FIRM

IS  BUYING THE PROPERTY FROM THE CITY AND NEARLY 30 BUILDING LOTS WILL

BE AVAILABLE.  

MY MEMORY IS NOT PERFECT ON THE KROEGER'S BUT I THINK RAY OWNED

A SALE BARN,  MAYBE OWNED SOME RACE HORSES AND WAS ACTIVE FOR MANY

YEARS ON THE JACKSON COUNTY FAIR BOARD.

CLICK-ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE IT.

AND THANKS TO THE NEARLY 500 PEOPLE THAT BROUGHT UP THIS WEB SITE OVER THE

WEEKEND.

LAST NIGHT, AN OPEN  HOUSE WAS HELD AT KUNAU IMPLEMENT JUST SOUTH

OF DEWITT  OFF 4-LANE 61.

THEY RECENTLY  EXPANDED THE BUILDING AND IT WAS A CHANCE FOR ANYONE

TO STOP BY AND TAKE A LOOK.

WHEN NANCY AND I STEPPED IN, WE COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW NICE IT WAS.

WAY MORE THAN I EXPECTED.    

THE BUSINESS STARTED IN 1936

THERE IS ALSO A STORE IN PRESTON

TODD KUNAU IS THE OWNER (LIVED IN MAQUOKETA IN THE LATE 90"S)

IT HAS TO BE THE FINEST IMPLEMENT STORE IN IOWA 

HAPPY IT IS IN THE KMAQ AREA

ASHLEY AND RICK PRULL AT THEIR NEW LOCATION FOR THEIR APPLIANCE

BUSINESS......."APPLIANCE SOLUTIONS" IN MAQUOKETA.

THEY MOVED INTO THE LARGER LOCATION OVER THE WEEKEND AND ARE

OPEN FOR BUSINESS.    "APPLIANCE SOLUTIONS" WAS  "MAYBERRY APPLIANCE" 

UNTIL THE PRULLS PURCHASED THE BUSINESS AND RE-NAMED IT.

THE OLD LOCATION WAS JUST EAST OF THE MAQUOKETA PUBLIC LIBRARY.

THE NEW LOCATION WAS FORMERLY A LIQUOR STORE THAT CLOSED LAST YEAR,

ON THE CORNER ON EAST PLATT STREET.    THE BUILDING IS MUCH LARGER THAN

THE ONE THEY WERE IN AND  HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REMODELED.    THERE IS 

ALSO A BIG PARKING LOT AND A LARGE STORAGE BUILDING BEHIND THE

STORE.

THEY HANDLE MANY FAMOUS NAMES AND THEY SERVICE WHAT THEY SELL!

CONGRATULATIONS ASHLEY AND RICK ON YOUR

BEAUTIFUL NEW STORE!!
