Working in St Peter I get to Mankato weekly for items and I was surprised at the amount of empty retail on the east side. That corner was dealt a bum hand in all that looked good 20 years ago. Lowe’s surprised me, but the majority of the rest are all victims of the changing face of retail. The west side seems to be a bit more sparse with retail and I can’t help to think in the case of Lowe’s they might have done better away from Menard’s, Mill’s, and Home Depot, but that would also put them on your doorstep which would cause the chickens to quit laying. There is a lot of good space sitting idle and Pa would have said something about how many hay bales we could stack in there. Mankato is a good city and should be a draw for businesses to fill that space. We are seeing a move to the malls attracting service oriented renters versus retail. I’ve seen it in Marshall, Hutchinson, Willmar, and St. Cloud. I recall many areas around St. Cloud and the Metro that we said “ why did they build way out there” that are no longer out there. Time will heal this, but you are right. Aquaculture or maybe hydroponic tomatoes might work.

In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
