It was very sad to see the pictures of the demolition of so many of the buildings on Main Street. Thanks for putting the names of many of the folks in the pictures. Keep up the good work, Bill. This is a real treasure.

The song just simply fits with this great website. So much of my family either immigrated, were born, married and now resting in the 2 cemeteries. Thank you so much for your dedication and great job. :) I so love the music background. The song just simply fits with this great website.

I haven't been back to Indianola since 2004 so my memories are of all of main street being intact. I find it so sad to see the buildings that were so much a part of my life growing up as they were to so many others who grew up in this little town being destroyed. Did anyone try to salvage the dates etc. on the buildings before they came down, I certainly hope so they would be a beautiful addition to the collection the historical society is accumulating! The small building behind the old bank/post office that was the library all the years I was a child, it was a Saturday ritual to go the the library and check out books. I so looked forward to exploring the world in this way and my love of reading was developed in this small building, I can see the face of the librarian but at present can't remember her name she was always helpful but had a very forcefull Shhhhh if we got too loud. The bank/post office next door played a large role in my young life my dad carried rural mail for 36 years in Indianola and as a toddler this was the first place I remember seeing him at work, right up until the new office open in the 60's. , The old hardware store had a very distinctive smell that I can still recall when I look back in my minds eye to my very youngest years, and Grace Whitmore's dry goods store with her beautiful clothes, hats and gloves and of course Gambles where you could find just about anything imaginable with either Clarence or Mrs. Kelly always ready to help. Buildings too that have been gone for years and years like the old lumber yard and that fresh smell of lumber that even wafted into the street on warm days. The old City Hall with the Skating Rink in back how many remember standing in line for what seemed forever in December when Santa came to town and every child no matter what left with what seemed a huge bag of candy and a wonderfully fresh orange. Because my dad earned his living in Indianola we were raised to believe that we should spend our money in our home town, when Ruby and Edgar Frank owned the grocery store and then as ownership passed as the years did too we always shopped at home. Never did we make a trip to McCook for groceries like so many others, but we purchased everything in town unles it wasn't available such as car parts. In my sadness seeing the old town disappear in memory I can't help but think that if more people had believed the way we were brought up that you spent your money in your home town that maybe these buildings would still house vibrant businesses and would not now exist only in the memories of us "old timers". Guess this has turned into a ramble but it is the thoughts I've had seeing a part of me and so many others die!

This a great site and a great idea. I look forward to some more updates. If I was smart enough to upload some video, I would be happy to shoot a video of my girls going crazy in the park.
