Scenes around Lake City in the 1960s
Around 1960, Lake City’s State Exchange Bank, then located
at 300 North Marion Street, became one of the area’s first businesses
to provide some “unusual” information on a sign outside their bank—
time and temperature!
In the 1960s, Aero Corporation, located at the old Naval Air
Station near the junior college, became a major employer of local
residents as it hired some 1,400 employees to work on modifying and
refurbishing large aircraft from around the world.
In 1965, Aero Corporation employees paint an airplane.
