The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Driscoll was named for Frederick Driscoll, a newspaper manager.

In June 2015, The Coal Car Diner closed. Three months later in September 2015, the owners of Norm's Grocery, and the cafe announced their retirement. On October 10, an auction was held and all remaining equipment and materials were sold. The grocery store had been a mainstay of the town, being open for 57 years. The towns Post Office was located in a small portion of the grocery store, which was forced to close as well. Donna Meland was postmaster and operated the cafe, while Norm Meland operated the store. Mail has since been changed to rural service.
