Still in spindle-clearing mode…
After consolidation of Exira and Elk Horn-Kimballton, there wasn’t a need for two school sites in Exira. The district has decided to burn down the multi-story brick downtown site April 27. Exira still has a school, on the south side, built in the late 1950s/early 1960s.
The building, last used as an elementary, will live on in Google Street View— at least until Google goes through again. It was photographed in 2009 when it was still in use. (What does Google do with previous pass-throughs? Good question. It could be very useful for comparisons.)
