Lake City hugs the border with Wisco and Lake Pepin. Lakeville is south on Cedar - south of Apple Valley and also borders Burnsville, Savage, PL, etc.
Thinking back to the ‘60’s

1960s life (for me) in no particular order:
Bias belted tires
Retreads
Carburetors
Brake drums
Vacuum tubes
Black and white televisions
Transistor radios
Crystal radios
Milk and bread deliveries at home
WWI veterans hobbling and limping along
Slower paced and friendlier folks
Glass greenhouses
Homemade gocarts
Family owned burger joints
Family owned pork BBQ places
Hobos
Service Stations (not just gas pumps)
S&H Green stamps
Hand me downs
Hardware stores w/everything imaginable
BRASS garden hose fittings and faucets
Ornately decorated movie theaters
Drive-in movie theaters
Mercury vapor street lamps
Glass bottles and jars. No plastic.
Curb feelers on cars
Clear plastic car seat covers
Vacuum tube tester in pharmacies, etc.
Duck pin bowling alleys
Flat top haircuts
Dress hats for men and women
Animal fur stoles
Reel push mowers
Businesses closed on Sunday
Telephone party lines

I think so. It was about that distance away from cities.
Me – no thought of old age, no aches & pains accordingly, drinking a 6-pack without having to pee, occasional zits, hickies, two bucks would let me run my old GTO all night..
I have 4 A&W's in my service area. I like to stop about every other week for lunch. I get grilled chicken so I can get cheese curds and a root beer freeze!
