D C's Repair

About D C's Repair

Kidder still carries an old nickname from its early days, the Athens of Caldwell County, back when the limestone institute building on the hill made this one of the more schooled little towns on the Hannibal and St. Joseph line. D C's Repair works out of that same small-town footprint now, fixing what breaks around the county and, once winter sets in, running a plow blade over the driveways and lots that line the old rail-town streets. The railroad that first laid Kidder out in 1866 is long past its busiest years, but the grid of streets it left behind still shapes how a plow route moves through town, block by block. A Caldwell County winter can turn a quiet Main Street lot into a solid sheet overnight, so the crew makes a point of getting salt down before the morning traffic. Between the repair truck and the plow truck, D C's keeps to that same old habit of a small rail town making do with whatever the day calls for.
