Landmark gone

A little bit of Mount Ayr history stands no more as the building on Highway 2 that most recently was home to Romano's Pizza has been demolished.

The PCSB Bank has purchased the property and will build a new branch office at the location, although plans for construction have not been set.

PCSB Bank currently has a branch office on the north side of the Mount Ayr square.

According to local historian, Mike Avitt, the building on Highway 2 had first opened in May 1965 as a Dog 'n Suds franchise drive-in. Over the years it had also been home to the B&M Drive-in, the Red Carpet Inn, the Raider Inn, the Mount Ayr Diner and likely some others.

Beulah HUTCHINSON also recalls Hutch's Drive-in was open in that location for a time.
