APT Store

APT Store

Need a sewing machine fixed? Other then the APT store in Downtown Fremont Nebraska please tell me where you might get that done. When visiting Connie at the APT store on 6th street be sure to ask what “A, P, T” Stands for. Very interesting. Early in the last century this building was home to Finch’s Cafeteria. Then the Green Room and then the Tally Ho Restaurant. The Franklin Life Insurance Co.was located here until 1993 when this space became the APT Store. It’s loaded with a whole lot of history that Connie loves to talk about. Enjoy.

Corner Bar

Corner Bar

A recent customer gave this review of the Corner Bar. “A late-70s renovation look, the Corner Bar manages to retain its century-old character. The bar includes two pool tables, pinball, dart boards, a jukebox, an ATM, and a few video games. Watch yourself when entering the bar, one of the dart boards is immediately to the right just inside the front door”. Tammy is very proud of this place, just ask her. Here is a person with class running a business on the corner of 3rd and main street in Historic Downtown Fremont.

Bella’s Broad Street Diner

Bella’s Broad Street Diner

The lady sitting with her husband in a booth over there along the wall said, “look at this, a place to hang your coat”, referring to the coat tree mounted to the end of each booth. I timed my visit to Bella’s Broad Street Diner so Bob could take a break and pose for me when not so busy. Collene, Bob’s wife ran to the kitchen as soon as I pointed my camera in her direction, “I don’t want my picture taken”. Bob and Collene are it, mom and pop all the way. Down home and as great as it gets right here on Broad Street in Historic Downtown Fremont, Nebraska.
