Mederville, Iowa

A Town Waiting for Government Assistance

2009 Holiday

On 3 July 2009 my Sibling Brother and I traveled throughtout Clayton County. We visited Mederville with the idea that we would dine at this Cafe. Our parents had always enjoyed lunch at the Mederville Cafe. When we arrived we determined that this facility is no longer in operation.
After we passed the former Cafe we approached the "Bride to Nowhere." We speculated what the town might have developed into had their been proper planning and correct placement of the bridge. As you can see the bridge is closed.

After a quick turn around we traveled another street to view an industry that appeared to be shut down. After reading the faded sign we ascertained that this building once housed a creamery. What a shame it had to close due to the desire to have bigger milk processing plants throughout the Midwest. This small town industry appears to be closed forever.

On the next street over we viewed this sign which appears to be the mantra of Mederville, Iowa.

As we exited Mederville we saw this unoccupied building. We both agreed that with proper stimulus funds from the U. S. Government that this would make a fine "Medical Center and Care Facility" for the few residents of Mederville, Iowa.

I just hope that they get their request in on time before we run out of money. People should not have to live with out close by medical care as the few citizens of Mederville, Iowa now must do.

We also noted that Mederville does not even have a House of Worship!!!!!
