FLASHBACK: Bailey's Cafe

Rear entrance of Bailey's Cafe, early 1960's

Many moons ago, 71 highway came straight through Butler; the bypass wasn't completed until the late 60's.

This presented the Butler strip with an opportunity for plenty of customers and consequently there were many fine eateries such as Bailey's Cafe on the north end.

The building remains mostly unchanged today; it is now attached to the north end of the county storage building next door to Midwest Lumber company.
