SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL I had Quaker oats just this morning! I grew up on them but after joining the military that pretty much stopped that.

Grew up on the stuff and would always enjoy it on a cold winter morning. Living in Florida we don't get many cold mornings so now I pretty much only eat it in cookies.

Quaker Oats built 36 grain silos in 1932, and each silo was 120 feet tall and 24 feet in diameter, and together they housed 1,500,000 bushels of grain. The facility closed in 1970 and was adaptively reused into a small mall and a hotel. The mall opened in 1975 and a Hilton Hotel opened in the silos in 1980. It is now student housing for the University of Akron.
The Quaker Oats Cereal Factory (Quaker Square) is on the National Register #78002195.
