The clock on the bell tower of Old City Hall said it was 5:20 when President Jimmy Carter waved to the crowds thronging 9th & Pacific Avenue on September 23, 1980. He stood on top of his armored limo, surrounded by Secret Service agents, to greet his many supporters. The President spent three hours in town making appearances at a senior citizens center, the Continental Grain terminal, his own local campaign office and finally at a fundraiser at the Bicentennial Pavilion.
