| Noticed in the Star tonight that Kafe Utza is for sale. I am surprised. |
With Butch being elected, why would you be surprised?
Think "Potterville". |
| Well maybe Great grains will expand... |
| they have the BEST irish coffee and scones, EVER!!! |
| I was very disappointed to see this too! |
| What?! Where will I get my hipster fix when I come visit? This is a very sad day. |
| There is much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments here in Miles City. It may be because Kara is getting married and maybe wants a life and a family outside of her wonderful little shop. |
Is "hipster fix" really the words you want to use?

| Good luck Kara and all of the Stewarts, no matter which path you choose. Where ever you go and where ever you are, you will create something very unique and contribute something very special. |
Adieu, mon amis. Bonne chance.  |
| I would love to move back and take over her store if I could. Years ago my parents hand a newsstand in that spot. |
| congrats to Kara went to school with her and was so happy to see her come back and open her own store, sad to see it go..I hope she and the family have the best luck in the future..WHo is she engaged to, Is he from here? |
Kacey, sorry - not to pry if you were being unspecific for a reason but may I ask what the newstand was? I *think* I remember News Nook being there (bought a LOT of stuff from that place, let me tell you!), then my recollections get hazy... a surplus store, another book store, and then fast-forward to coffee shop.
I'm always trying to feed my memory and nostalgia.
EDIT: Oh, and I should say I'm sorry to see Cafe Utza go, too. I was only there once (my first coffee upon returning to Miles City after being away for years). Always sad to see any business go but I hope it's good news for the person and the path they're following.

| My parents started the first newsstand in that location. It was called A&B News. They later sold it to Lenard Benasky. |
Apparently that building was originally built in the 1930's to house a shoe repair shop.
Kacey, any idea what timeframe your parents operated the newsstand? I mostly remember it as "Benasky's Newsstand". I bought a lot of comic books there.
EDIT: Oh, I also remember buying "penny" candy there -- chocolate footballs in particular. My dad would go in there to buy cigars and my brother, Don, and I would tag along. Being the mid-70's, Don and I both had pretty long hair (not that long, but long by the standard of our parents' generation). Like clockwork, Mr. Benasky would comment to my dad, "Oh, I see you brought your girls along with you." If I recall correctly he also handed out free Dum Dum suckers to us kids.

That's what happens when you get old. Hazy memories! And you must remember that you are getting up there in years. You're not as young as you might think and your body will let you know what you can and can't do, mostly what you can't do anymore. |
Stan, I think I'm going to have a rubber band effect. I'll keep denying my age until one day I suddenly have a mental breakdown and go from "Youthful and vital" to "How the heck did I get old overnight?!" It won't be pretty... there'll probably be gold necklaces and a Porsche convertible involved as a coping mechanism. 
Kacey, Dave, I remember the Benasky's Books! I think A&B might have been a little before I was loading up on comics. I recall the chocolate football candies, ha ha!
Shoe repair building, huh? That's great. Man, those were the days when people actually repaired shoes instead of buying cheap replacements at Walmart. I refuse to let those days go.  |
Dave,
My parents bought the building and turned it into a newsstand in the late 60s. It's kind of foggy for me as my grandparents died within 6 months of each other while my family had the newsstand. They died in 1968 and 1969. |
| It was the NewsNook at least from 1979-1982, the years I went to high school there. It was owned by my cousin, Cindy Field, who bought it from Benaskys. My mom worked there and I worked there sometimes on weekends. Actually there was more reading and eating candy than work on my end of it |
| future home of starbucks? |
