Maryville grew in the northwest corner of Missouri like a sunflower in a wheat field. However, Maryville had more to offer than its rural surroundings might suggest. Industry and Maryville got along well. On the east side, Union Carbide, Lloyd Chain and AC Lightning Security grew and prospered. South of town, Uniroyal manufactured rubber hoses for industry. Just north of the University was Reigal Manufacturing, the diaper factory. Businesses also did well in Maryville. The square sported several drug stores, men ' s and women ' s clothing stores, several shoe stores, three banks, jewelry stores, gift shops, sporting goods stores, appliance shops and a shoe repairman. To the south on Highway 71, several large discount shops, hardware and grocery stores prospered during the year. If no other area received its share of business, the food establishments of Maryville were busy. Fast food shops sold their tacorriff ic, extra-crispy, brazier and super-style from hamburger barns, golden arches and docksides. Oysters on the half-shell, steak, pizza, chicken and fish filled the menus and mouths in the city ' s restaurants. Almost on par with eating in Maryville, was its entertainment. Two theatres and a drive-in provided cinematic diversions. For dancing, a disco was opened, along with the dancing facilities at several clubs and organizations. Summertime swimming and ball teams afternoons and evenings, while w volleyballers fought for local titles. Almost dozen parks within the city provided recreation and fresh air. The bars, taverns and liquor stores in Maryville excelled in the sale of potables. Pubs, palms, cat clubs, shadowy ladies, bottle and smoke shops and drive-ins flourished in the city, making nights in the city interesting. And in the tactories, and stores and shops, in the restaurants and fast food joints, in the theatres, dance halls and clubs, in the bars and liquor stores, the students of Northwest Missouri State University bought and sold goods, made and used products, danced and drank and watched. NVVMSU students tended both sides of the bars, filled grocery carts and stocked the shelves, sold tickets and bought tickets. Maryville provided a living for some students and made its living from others. Although it didn ' t have the jobs, the excitement, the night-life and diversity of Kansas City, Omaha, Des Moines or St. Joseph, Maryville did have something to offer all students-a place to learn and live. s ost a £ - W W - U if 3f C S K-Y FAR LEFT: One of Maryville ' s many small businesses, the COOP gas station on Highway 71, is frequented by many students LEFT: Elderly men sit on a bench outside of the Nodaway County Courthouse ABOVE: Because of structural damage, the First Presbyterian Church was torn down.
