Communitu Going., lip! A new bank, shopping mall, and several new homes — a completed Vo- Ag and woodworking building addition at school --a computer-operated bill- board at the time and temperature cor- ner — all were a part of a builking boom that swept our community. As part of a downtown beautification project, trees were planted on the side- walks of Main Street. Dragging Main underwent a change in route as Fair- view's own Pizza Hut gave cars a new turn around on the north end. No one will soon forget those ir- ritating blockades as Main Street ex- panded its width or the problems it caused at the Queen's Kitchen and Bowling Alley entrances! It was a time of change as the old Blue Front Hotel was moved to the park to become a museum, and the Boehs Hotel and the Old used car dealer were both tom down to make way for new growth. Fairview -- a close-knit, proud city — growing — expanding — and doing things OUR WAY. AMONG THE MANY newly-built houses in Fairview are several modem and unusual ones such as this one of the Graalmans. 22 Community

SEEN ON THE CORNER of the Fair- view State Bank, the new ’time square' gives all kinds of local in- formation (and caused a few wrecks until drivers discovered they couldn’t read it all during one light change). SHOWING THAT WORKING in the Pizza Hut is just as fun as eating there, Cindy.Chill takes orders from stu- dent teachers, Tom Weldon and Ron Paslick, while Linda Smith is busy , 'Y behind the counter. TAKING THE WHOLE block once used for a filling station, manu- facturing plant, and used car lot, the new Farmers and Merchants Bank takes shape.
