Don Kopczynski shared this photo of the south side
of Main Street from many years ago. Most of these buildings are still there
although they look much different now with the awnings added in the early
1980’s. The current Arnzen Drug building is at right. The Farmers
Store has the awning with Hoene’s to its left, and the white building at
far left is the Royale Room building. Click on the photo for a larger view.
