When the guy who owned the fish bait business moved out in about 4 years ago, the Thai restaurant expanded (knocking down the wall between them).
You are right, the windows have been maintained/replaced.

How long was the TV store there; closed when your Dad retired, or did it stay on awhile? I thought I had been in there bugging the proprietor for an old Packard-Bell Cartravision machine that they had sitting in there... That was in the mid 80s because I had a drivers license by then.
That might have been another store, but I know it was on the west side of Lincoln in that area. I remember one across the street, and maybe another one on the same side as your Dad's.
