Lets not forget cucumbers as part of our farming community roots. Although its been decades since you could drop them off for handling, the building still exists across from the old cannery (currently Osseo Electric Cleaner Co) Its been a fair amount of things over the years and appears to currently be a pet grooming business. We'll do a cannery post soon since it has been confused with the Condensery at times.

Another bus photo for the day but this bus is about to get filled up with bologna sandwiches and uncontrollable noise.

I'm not sure how many of you have been in the old Amundson building downtown but it takes a special skill to move busses around in there. Have a great week!

Many of our buildings are gone now but another fair amount just look different due to multiple remodels. This building currently houses "The Wellness Way" but has been many things over the years including Byes Dress Shop, a grocery store and a Mercantile as shown here. Osseo has also had a handful of post office locations over the years and the section on the left was one of them.

This is similar to a prior post but a few years newer and also not really "Main Street" as noted below. There's just something about the 50's that never gets old.

If you are a member of the "Our Old Town Eau Claire" group you can enjoy random drives recorded by R Hoff Sr. Here is part one a pair he recorded of a drive through Osseo on 8/26/1984. There are 4 more uploads to enjoy after this one. They are posted in the comments under our Stuart Dodge event post.
