Today's "Throwback Thursday Collection" takes us to the northwest corner of East 4th Avenue and North Elm.
The building at 324 E. 4th was built and opened as Lums Restaurant in 1969 with Jack Taylor as manager, but it didn't last long. At that point, the subject of today's article entered.
Ted Nieciecki was an interesting entrepreneur. In 1972, he started Ted's Family Restaurant in this building. The first photo shows the business at opening.
In 1974, he turned this into the Golden Cymbal Supper Club. Between 1976 to 1982, it was the Hutchinson Appliance Center, owned by Jack Zabel.
In 1983 and 1984, it was Budget Rental with A.D. Arney.
In 1987, it became Casa De Zaki Restaurant, owned by Troy Albright.
In May 1994, it became Connecting Point Computer Center, owned by Steve Harper. The name was changed to Network Management Group Inc. in 2000. The second photo shows that business.
In May 2019, NMGI moved to larger quarters at 734 E. 4th. The third photo shows the tenant of 324 E. 4th today, the PRMI Support Center, owned by Billzy L.L.C. of Henderson, Nevada.
