Larson Foods began operation in 1933 and were located at 213 4th Avenue SE. Now this area is the parking lot West of the Courthouse on Burdick Expressway…..
Wow, I don't remember the Town Theater at all! But I'm sure I went to above mentioned movies at the Outdoor Theater, The Empire and most likely even at the town! Used to like a guy that worked at Larson's Foods - ah it was never to be!
