The building in which city hall is now located is the former Mueller's IGA store. Mr. Mueller was getting "up there" in age when I moved to the area, and his son-in-law, Mr. Fast was running most of the business. About 10 years ago Mueller's closed its doors. Leaving only the Economy grocery store in town. The city eventually purchased the building, remodeled it and moved in.
The town is still a peaceful, quiet country town. The main park on 5th street, hold flea markets, and in the summer they have "Movies In the Park". Where free movies are shown, modern fist run movies, not old stuff, popcorn and soda is free to all. It is a plan to keep kids from roaming the streets with nothing to do. Park Dept provides the movies, fire dept. the pop corn, and local business provide the soda. Neat idea.
