July 9, 1958, Twin City News-Record
66K seems like a bargain to build a grocery store, but then again, this is 1958 dollars. The real measure, per the internet's convenient inflation calculator, is more like 10 times more. For those who don't remember, the Red Owl was adjacent to Hart Park and from time to time, I could play on the playground while my parents shopped. And yes, I was unattended. Sadly, we all know that wouldn't fly today.
Remember The Red Owl well
ReplyDeleteMy father use to work there.
