The Downtown Area

Gathering:

Prompt: What is something that used to be in Rushville but is no longer here that still lives in your memory?

Well, just the downtown area. You know, when we grew up, there were probably four different restaurants, the Food Bowl, which I know a lot of people have always talked about. That was a gathering place.

And just the amount of businesses that were here. You know, three hardware stores. There was at one time three grocery stores, two or three clothing stores, three hardware stores, two lumber yards, and so it was just a very special place. But it’s changing times in America, but we still live in the best place in America.

So I go to the city, but the city’s the city. I’m always glad to get home.
