Noted Lincoln Highway author Brian Butko, in his great "Greetings from the Lincoln Highway" book, had more information on Teibel's.
He said that the US-30-US-41 intersection is called the "Crossroads of the Nation" since both highways are transcontinental. Teibel's has been at this intersection since 1929 and greatly expanded over the years. At one time there was also a tourist court with 30 steam-heated cabins for overnight stays, but that is long gone.
There was also an impressive red, blue, and orange neon sign at one time, but it was accidentally knocked down a few years ago, that has since been replaced by a modern version.
Mr. Butko also included two postcard scenes of the place.
If you're on the Lincoln Highway and want a great guidebook. This is the one to get.
Thanks Brian. --RoadDog
