Continuing with the Dec. 15, 2008 Daily herald article.
There is a very old 1950s era Schlitz Beer sign hanging from the front of the place. Kind of sets it in its place in time. Bob Kraft is 64 and Peggy Kraft is 85. Peggy still does the cooking. All of it is great, but especially the house dressing and her spaghetti sauce which both are beyond compare.
Bob doesn't have a car and never had a license. Why get one, if he is hungry, the restaurant is right there. If he's thirsty, so is the bar. Bob works the bar, but has not been there the last several times we visited. Sure glad he was there on the 30th when we visited.
They will remain living above the place until April. If there are no buyers, they are considering auctioning it off.
There is also an old street car diner that has been restored by the Route 66 Association of Illinois' Preservation Committee.
Sure Gonna Miss This Place. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
