Planned Intersection . . . of Broadway, Relocated Highway 6 and a new Pierce Street connection - as yet unnamed - is shown in this drawing. Construction of the intersection and Highway 6 to near Dutch Hollow Road should be completed this November.
Relocated Highway 6, straighter and wider than its predecessor, stretches from the Interstate 80 overpass into the distant Iowa prairie in this view. The highway between I-80 and Quick was opened to traffic during the past week. The new road eliminates many of the dangerous curves and hills which characterized the old Highway 6. Passing lanes have also been added.

Relocated Highway 6 between Nicholas Street In Council Bluffs to Quick was to be opened about 2 p.m. Tuesday. Past the barricades are two bridges over Indian Creek. Interstate 80 crosses over the new highway at a point just over the horizon. Related picture and story on page 1.

Council Bluffs Changing Scene--About 70 years ago, Max Mohn took much pride in this section of the 200 block of South Main St. At left was the Max Mohn Grocery and Provisions; center was his Creston House and at right, his saloon. This old photo comes from Miss Lily Mohn who lives at 219-1/2 S. Main St., the building at right. She was a daughter of Max.
Today...the building at left is back in the grocery business. Sam's New Super Market is at 215 S. Main St., the same address as Max Mohn's old store. The Creston House, now double in size, has not been used as a hotel for many years. In the former saloon building is now part of the Goodwill Store.
Council Bluffs Changing Scene--This picture of the J.T. Stewart residence at 306 Bluff St. appears in an old book, Council Bluffs Illustrated, published in 1887. The book belongs to Ole A. Hill of 919 Avenue H. The old house was known as the "Gables" because of its design.
Today...the Abraham Lincoln High School Gymnasium stands on the site of the former Stewart residence. It is at the southwest corner of Fifth Ave. and Bluff St. The A.L. Gym was built in 1926. It is across the street from the high school.
