THEY HAVE REALLY HAD A BUSY WEEK WORKING ON GETTING THE LAND READY FOR THE NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN MAQUOKETA, ON THE CORNER OF WESTERN AVENUE AND WEST SUMMIT, WHICH WAS ONCE PART OF THE BIG TUBBS APPLE ORCHARD. TO THE LEFT STOOD A HOME AND HUNDREDS OF TREES HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT BEHIND THE MIDDLE TREE AND TO THE NORTH FOR ABOUT 2 BLOCKS. ON THIS BIG PARCEL, A MONTICELLO PERSON OR FIRM WILL SELL LOTS OR BUILD HOMES. CLOSE TO 30 MODERATELY PRICED HOMES. A STREET, CURBS AND GUTTERS AND WATER AND SEWER PIPES COME FIRST.
DECIDED TO GO FOR DINNER LAST NIGHGT AT BLUFF LAKE, BUT
SINCE THEY WERE SO BUSY, AND ONLY PARKING SPACES OPEN WERE UP
THE HILL (TOO MUCH OF A WALK FOR US) WE DECIDED TO COME
BACK ANOTHER TIME AND SEE THE NEW LOOK AND EXPANSION.
WOULD BE NICE OF BLUFF LAKE HAD A GOLF CART TO TAKE OLD FOLKS
LIKE US DOWN AND UP THE HILL TO THE FRONT DOOR.
SO..HEARD THERE WAS A NEW MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN
WYOMING AND HEADED THAT WAY ON HIWAY 136.
IT IS ON THE CORNER, DOWNTOWN, AND TWO BUILDINGS
REMODELED TO ESTABLISH IT. OPENED LAST THANKSGIVING.
TWO PHOTOS ABOVE. THE MAIN KITCHEN, BAR AND DINING
ROOM ABOVE AND THE SECOND ROOM (BELOW) FOR BUSY NIGHTS
OVERFLOW AND PARTIES. A WIDE DOORWAY BETWEEN.
NAME: LALOS
CO-OWNERS RACHEL AND ISAI (PRONOUNCED EE-SIE-EE) WERE HOSTING
AND HELPING IN KITCHEN....AND VISITED WITH US A FEW MINUTES.
THEY ARE OPEN 11 TO 9 EVERY DAY, AND UNTIL 10 ON FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. LARGE MEXICAN MENU, INCLUDING 3 MEXICAN DESERTS.
GOOD FOOD. GOOD DESERTS.
GREAT CLASSICAL BLAST IRISH CONCERT SATURDAY NIGHT (MAR 19) ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE
SEEN AT OHNWARD. LOW TURN OUT SORRY TO
SAY. MAQUOKETA IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE A GREAT
THEATRE LIKE OHNWARD.
