54-year-old 10th Avenue South shop all tired out

Link to January 31 Great Falls Tribune article.

Excerpt:
The main building, barracks from what was then the U.S. Air Force's East Base, haven't been updated much since they were placed on a concrete foundation there decades ago. There are patches of mud in the asphalt parking lot and the paint on that sign — the one with the smiling red-suited service man saluting — is faded.

But the loyal assemblage of patrons of the shop, which opened in June 1954 when 10th Avenue South was a two-lane highway headed out of town, knew differently.

And now, they are in mourning.
