"Dream a-little".
A 'German in Swede-town' - the Reinkings! One brother had a tavern
on this corner of city square.
The other had his shop next door. Meat man he was. Knew how to
'smoke' those cuts.
Both left including the 'smoke shop'. Enterprisers wanted corner
for bank.
Moved tavern east a lot - became know as Jack's Cafe. Still had
the door in the corner.
Home Bank on the corner lot - swept away in the depression. New
home for American Legion.
Harness, shoes, - John Thunstrom's the leather man. Later, home
to Wassgren the barber.
Mauritz brothers had a hotel - burned in first serious fire.
Gave rise to Kiron Fire Dept.
Peter Miller restaurant - ice cream too. Mollers came later.
The grain elevator and lumber yard. Hoaglund, Brummer, Ted Johnson
- others too.
And all the mechanics on the street too. Chevys were king. Studebakers
for awhile.
Lots to dream about. Pleasant memories.
