The little white building next to the Farmers Market building was my parents first cafe in Postville. It was the V&J Cafe owned my parents Vern and Jean Brouillet opened in 1946 and is the site where I met my first and longest best friend Bill Harris.

Hi Phillip! How wonderful to hear about your parents' cafe and the fond memories you have there. It sounds like a special place. We'd love to learn more about the V&J Cafe and the community it served. Do you happen to remember any favorite dishes or stories from your time there? Have there been any significant changes in the area since this photo was taken in 1982?
