[edit] Economy
In its earliest years, Strandquist was a relatively vibrant town with quite a bit of economic activity, including a bank, at least two gas stations, two cafes, two grocery stores, two taverns, and a three-story hotel. Today there are no functioning businesses left in the town itself (the cafe, mislabeled as "The 7-Up Cafe" in the accompanying photo, has closed its doors), though a fellow who goes by the name "Pete" or "Pigeon Pete" can hook visitors up with cold beer from his private stock. The Rainbow Club, a combination bar, liquor store, and restaurant, sits just outside the city limits and is open six days a week (closed Monday).
