I grew up in Moline...I enjoy reading what you post. I grew up in Moline and worked at Melo-Cream at 16 (almost 58 now), as did an older sister Cindy and my Mother Donna when she was young. You had a picture posted, one of the girls looks like she could be my mom.<br /> I remember all the pictures on the walls and how Homer Jackson would love taking them(pics). He took the workers to see Brigadoon , the one and only play I ever saw. He and his two hour naps "NOT MORE THEN TWO HOURS" he would say. He always had the radio tuned to WQUA but when he went down for his nap some how the radio would get turned to KSTT. Homer loved his children and would brag (in a good way) about them. Through the years I have often thought of them and wondered how they are.<br />Homer would buy us work shoes and had air conditioner put in our apartments. <br />I'm rambling now but could go on and on. Thank You Homer <br />Susan Partlow FlanaganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3484675167920167707.post-61215208011266117292010-02-18T11:54:17.230-08:002010-02-18T11:54:17.230-08:00The building in the very foreground is the service...The building in the very foreground is the service garage and the former home of Sexton Ford Sales. Just beyond the chimney on the Sexton building is the old Kittler Motors (the Pontiac dealer before Harrelson Buick took the brand over). Across 5th Avenue from Kittler's, and on the corner, is the old Kohler Law Offices. Today it's Dave Birdsell's chiropractic clinic. Eclectic buildings, but indeed a vibrant downtown.Dave Coopmannoreply@blogger.com
