Fred Lynch retired in 2018 after capturing images for the Southeast Missourian since 1975, in that time moving from black-and-white to color, from film to digital and to video. The blog title is a nod to an earlier era of news photography and the 4x5 Speed Graphic: It's more important to be there for the shot than to worry about technical details.

Dee Dee's Shoe Outlet

Posted Wednesday, November 30, 2011, at 12:00 AM

G.D. Fronabarger wrote this item in his business column in the Nov. 15, 1969 Southeast Missourian:

There will be a new retail shoe outlet in the city. Dee Dee's Shoe Outlet, specializing in women's footwear, will occupy the site of The Barn on Kingshighway south. The outlet is now located at Dutchtown and is owned and operated by Kenneth Corbin. The store is to be opened soon.

The building was formerly The Barn Drive-In.

Here is a previous blog about The Barn.

It has a couple of current aerials to show how the area has changed.
