2019-08-24 Conversation With George

Some early discussion of the current weather. Mentioned that the old Kips in "blinking" star is now at Willerts Tastee Treat. Mentioned seeing a photograph that had the Coates Hotel in it. I figured the hotel address was at 303 1/2 Cedar in Yankton.

This brought on Dad's memory of when he was a kid, he and Uncle Orman witnessed the American State Bank getting robbed. That would have been around the same location as this photograph.

We didn't talk about this, but I found it interesting an old photo of Wards, and the Red Owl grocery store. I knew Wards used to be where Hatch Furniture is now, but I didn't realize that Red Owl was on 3rd street at one time.
