City Bakery
City Bakery was in the 300 block on the west
side of Main St. The location is now the
parking lot for wells Fargo Bank. City Bakery also had a lunch counter, of
which I do have some pictures. The eating area had wire metal tables and chairs
and a number of ceiling fans. People would stop for lunch and take home many of
the pastries offered. I remember City Bakery during the 1969 flood. I was
working at Downtown Red Owl. City Bakery
and their van(s) were used by the Red Cross to send out food and drink to the
people working on the dikes and other flood protection. After our shift at Red
Owl, a few of us would go to the back entrance of City Bakery, hop in one of
the vans and deliver food and drink to the workers, sometimes all night long.
