Every photo, every piece<br />
of furniture, every framed<br />
print, every display case,<br />
has a story.<br />
Sylvia Jones, spend the better part of<br />
the day cooking and baking for Sunday<br />
Brunch. The Sunday buffet is served each<br />
week from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The menu<br />
changes weekly, but usually includes<br />
several breakfast items such as biscuits<br />
and gravy, scrambled eggs, bacon, and<br />
hash brown casserole. Dessert choices<br />
vary weekly, but you may find coconut<br />
cream pie, pecan pie, Sylvia’s apple cake<br />
or chocolate sour cream cake with caramel<br />
icing.<br />
When A Step Back hosts special events<br />
such as a murder mystery, a musical performance<br />
or the Ladies of Liberty doing a<br />
special patriotic tribute, Beverly says the<br />
menu goes a little more “upscale”. Several<br />
groups have made pilgrimages to the<br />
building, including car clubs. The American<br />
Legion Shawnee Post #193 brought<br />
its antique steam engine, full of people,<br />
for a special event.<br />
With very little prompting, Marvin<br />
and Beverly will give you a tour. Every<br />
photo, every piece of furniture, every<br />
framed print, every display case, has a<br />
story. Many items were brought to the<br />
Maxwells from New Washington residents<br />
wanting to preserve a piece of the<br />
community’s history. Many other things<br />
were unearthed in the renovation.<br />
Just off the dining room, which seats<br />
about 80 and has an 18-foot screen and<br />
projector for meetings and special events,<br />
is a door that hides, what could best be<br />
kindly described as a “rickety” staircase<br />
leading to the old projection room. The<br />
projectors are still there, as are the carbon<br />
sticks that started the fire to power<br />
the projectors. It burned so hot, that there<br />
were stove pipes to exhaust the heat. Marvin’s<br />
brother, Larry, who is a few years<br />
older, remembers going with friends to<br />
movies in the building and then getting<br />
a hamburger across the street.<br />
In the lobby are more treasures — ads<br />
