This building, was, among many other businesses over the years, the old Ulrich Meat Market at 2 Main Street right across from the Brin building. At various times, it was a liquor store, a satellite television dealership and perhaps many others I cannot document. From the photo, we can deduce it's around Christmas time and the new Fox River Mall is still in its infancy; see the billboard touting the 80 new stores. Change is in the air. Soon, the advent of this mall will help accelerate the demise of Valley Fair and seriously compromise retailing in downtown Appleton. Even Fox Point in Neenah will be affected as the enlarged J.C. Penney at Fox River Mall makes the smaller Fox Point store irrelevant.
This building was demolished around 1989.
Behind this building to the north on Tayco Street was Remick Transfer Trucking Company.
ReplyDeleteDavid, I would like to use this photo in a POST for the Menasha Historical Society on 2 Main Street. I will probably run in on January, 7 or 8, 2023 (Nearly 10 years after you did!)
