Duke's Cyclery
This
last week we have been discussing the Windsor Hotel and the YMCA which was
built on that location. Across the street to the north there is now a parking
lot. At one time that parking lot was home to a couple businesses. One of those
was Duke’s Cyclery. At one time Duke was the dealer for Schwinn Bicycles and
also Harley Davidson Motorcycles. Next to Duke’s was a small café, not sure of
the name and a tree or two and then Parker Motors. Not sure if it was before or
after this location, but Duke’s was also in a building north of and adjacent to
the Parker Hotel… That location is where the dining room is now for the Senior
Citizens center.

The cafe next to Duke's Cyclery was called Oscar Sather Lunch. My grandma cooked there and my Dad washed dishes when he was 10-11 years old.
