Throwback Thursday: Sparks Music
Today s installment of Throwback Thursday takes us to the 100 block of North Main on the east side. For the purposes of this article, we are starting at 1970 for this property.
The Frank s Fashion Center, owned by the Finkelstein family had been ongoing since the 1920s. In 1971, the Addison Meschke - Terry Bloskey company bought the property and continued the name until 1974. At that time the name of the store and the exterior were changed to Terry Bloskey for Women clothing store.
In 1981, Terry Bloskey expanded with three stores, 520 through 524 E. 30th, with family, men and juniors outlets. Bloskey continued the women s store at 108 N. Main until 1985.

Just north of Walters Pumpkin Patch sit an old church, the last vestiges of a town called De Graff. Now called the De Graff Community Church, the classic country church carries a Burns address of 1145 N.W. 108th.
Constructed in 1902 as First Presbyterian Church of De Graff, about 50 people call the church their own. And it has grown over the course of the last year despite COVID-19. It has been a fantastic time, said minister Kurt Spivey, who has led the church since January of 2020. The church has grown, even with the virus.
This week some good news came for the church Gov. Laura Kelly announced the Historic Sites Board of Review awarded $1,168,492 for 15 historic preservation projects across the state as part of the 2021 round of Heritage Trust Fund grants. In that award is $62,990 for the historic church.
