This Casey's General Store sits where the Brink Oil Company business once operated. Curiously, the old address was 1619 Central Avenue, not 1615. Dad sold the station in 1982, and the property has changed hands at least a few times since then. I also probably previously reviewed this place before under a different name (Kum&Go, Houseman?).
If I'm in town and need gas, I'll usually stop here for old times sake. This time around (a couple days ago), I found that the place looked a little tattered at least at the gas pumps. That also included having to go inside with my credit card, when the it didn't work at my pump.
Once inside, I was 3rd in line at the front counter, with the first guy buying lottery tickets and re-purchasing as he one is few bucks here and there. The only thing worse with waiting for that is a person slowly writing a check. I paid my $20, bought a copy of the Estherville news, and I was out of there as fast as I could. read more
