Looking southeast from 1t St. and E. Bremer. On this corner one of the first street lights was hung, a bare bulb hanging from a wire in the middle of the intersection. In 1985 L-R; Stauffer Pharmacy, Greenbriar Floral, Peppermint Stick, Waverly Home Bakery, Helen's Waverly Cafe, IPS, Sears, Baker Realtors, Patricia;s Fabrics, Pet Tropics, Aid Association for Lutherans. On one block: pick up your pills, buy flowers, buy a new outfit for the kids, grab a cake for supper, get a cup of coffee and slip it slow for a moment's rest, don't forget to pay the gas bill, drop your order in Sears, glance at the pictures in the window at Baker Realtors, buyup that spool of blue thread, walk past Pet Tropics no fish at home, also past Aid Association for Lutherans husband can take care of that.
