Worked in Dyersville in 93 and 94. Rebuilt the old Amoco Terminal. Lived on Jackson. What a great town and people. Was welcomed like a long lost son.

im from wisconsin but my dad was born n raised at dbq,in late 70s are family did all of are shopping at dbq, one thing i will always miss is the fountain in the center of kenedy mall

Just saw this posted on Facebook, LOVE it...please do more...I've always marveled at how different our community is today from how it was in history...

I was born and raised in Dubuque as was my mom. She was 10 years old in 1940. Times looked pretty tough as the country was still recovering from the Great Depression. Very interesting.

Beautifully raw photos.

Margie We can't complain now.

As powerful as Dorthea Lange's iconic photograghy.

I love visiting Dubuque. I wish I could live there.

@@jogmas12 nope. As soon as a democrat mayor came in and wanted to make it more "diverse" its nothing like it used to be. Shootings all the time and its just one big 💩 hole like all democrat run cities and states. I wish they would all leave. Its still a beautiful town though.

How so?

i think there is only one street section in dubuque with the red brick cobblestonthats pretty rare to see

Fascinating! Never pictured the city being so cruddy in parts. Was the photographer a Dubuquer or one of those people working for the government to record poverty?

I'm from Dubuque, but I don't go quite that far back (born in '67, by which time a lot of things had changed, I'd imagine.)

40 or 60 years ago dubuque had alot of cigar shops and pool halls

This city's clearly is from another civilization. Research tartaria Jon Levi

However Dubuque is a joke...nothing but crime not a town to feel safe in unless your rich and can afford living out in the subdivisions

For real. I wish it would go back to the way it was before that idiot mayor wanted to make it more "diverse" and welcomed all the shootings here. I wish they never took down everything they did on Dodge as well. Its sad what they've turned Dubuque into.

My parents certainly weren't rich...the neighborhood my parents owned a home in from 1964 to 2020 is still perfectly safe. My Dad worked at the Dubuque Pack from 1952 to 1992 when he retired.

As painful as these images are, I'd love for anyone to contribute memories - beautiful or otherise - to this montage.
