1928 concrete markers were intended to face traffic, so this one needs a
quarter-turn. As is, the blue directional marker faces the bank building at right.
"This area is known locally as the 'diagonal four corners.' Turn right on Iowa Street to go to the center of the business district, where a lovely old soda fountain still is in operation in Lehan's Drug Store. At the edge of the business district an elegant old bank building remains on the far right corner of the intersection."
