November 26, 1988, Appleton Post-Crescent
This was the back end of several Main Street southside businesses, since supplanted by a three story office building. This photo was featured in an article about a potential redevelopment proposal. While the lot of businesses towards the end of this block's tenure were a number of bars and other questionable "amusements," it was also the block that housed the public library, Tuchscherer's, Marguerite's, a shoe repair, and other assorted enterprises off and on. For a time, there was a successful waterfront restaurant under various names. So while the landscape has largely changed in thirty years, memories remain. Tomorrow, I will feature a more traditional Main Street view from the same time period.
