Mid-May 1975 The Way We Were

Mid-May of 1975 was packed with interesting stories that still have an impact on Dubuque in 2020. 





Remember the controversy over "Continuum?"

Do you remember Arenz - A Great Shoestore? 


LP's and Cassettes were the big items at Musicland in Kennedy Mall.


If you were in the mood for "new wheels" Dubuque had strong choices.

How many of you were "Elaine Powers" clients? Can you believe these stock & bond prices? And, remember when 92.9 was "Beautiful Music?" 

The hottest "theater" experience in town was the original rock-musical "MARK" by Father Bob Beck and featuring the many outstanding local musicians.

Look at the variety of movie choices.

Live entertainment included the legendary Circle Sahara Room in East Dubuque. An appearance by Tiny Tim was postponed when Tim was injured in an auto accident. 

If you loved ballroom dancing, "Wayne King - The Waltz King" performed at the Fairgrounds Ballroom

Our favorite location for fine dining and the unforgettable theater organ music was "The Timbers in Platteville.
