I actually get a lot of my groceries here, it's a scratch and dent surplus grocery store. They sell dented cans, smashed boxes, and a lot of expired food. You have to be careful sometimes, but you can save a ton of money going here first for dried goods, and then going to Fareway for your fresh veggies and your meat.

50 009 "Conqueror" arrived with an up express from Exeter.
Built at EE Vulcan Foundry in 03/1968 (D409, 50009) it went new to LMR Western Division for duties on the accelerated WCML timetable, moved to WR along with the rest of the class, it went to Laira MPD in 04/1974; withdrawn in 01/1991 following collision damage it was cut up by Coopers Metals, Cardiff on site at OOC in 02/1991.
Named "Conqueror" at Laira MPD without ceremony on 08/05/78; following tradition of naming WR diesels after RN warships, this time the 1914 battleship.

I found this picture on the internet. The shrimp truck still visits this parking lot from Galveston, TX one day out of the month. Notice the old "Tally's" restaurant, and the motel the use to sit down the Goodwill parking lot?
I'd estimate this picture taken around the late 80s, or early 90s.
Here is an example of Waterloo trying to be artsy... I'm surprised that the sculptures that grace our downtown are being left alone (so far). Iowa City had all the problems with Herky, but even our most outrageous citizens seem to appreciate or respect these displays.
the Waterloo "Skyline"...
There's John Deere, then the Ramada, Then Starlight Village, and finally, the Super Wal*Mart
A picture of "Wig-Town", which was on the corner of E 4th St., and Mulberry. It'is now a US Bank location. The Wig-Town sign resurfaced during the construction of the bank.
Wig-Town went out of business sometime in the 1980s.
There use to be houses where this new bldg. sits. It's a health clinic that caters to low income citizens and families.
I stole this photo from another member of Flickr, because I was always meaning to take a picture of it, but it has now been painted over and taken over by Crystal Dist.
Places like this make Waterloo the anomaly it is.
There use to be houses on this street... they crumbled until they were basically shells of homes. Some were occupied, until a few years ago when finally all the homes on this stretch of Elm St. were demolished.

This use to be one of Waterloo's main employers until 1984, when it closed its doors for good, and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.
The neighborhood has never recovered.
