Building that now houses Dick's in Richfield/Bloom.

Hi everyone~

LOVE all of the memories on here. I have a question that I am positive you will know the answer to. In the 80's, the building along 494 that now houses Dick's Sporting Goods (and Galyan's before that I believe) was a white sort of presidential looking building with pillars. The name started with an M but I can't for the life of me remember what it was or what the company did. Does anyone have any pics or info on it?

Thanks!

Are you possibly thinking of the Naegle outdoor advertising company (think billboards) that was at 494 X 35W as I remember?

That's what I remember too. Naegle.

Thanks for the super quick responses! If that is what you both remember, then that is probably what it was. I remembered an M for some reason. But thanks, now it won't bug me anymore!
