Next time you're cruising the Lincoln Highway in Illinois, you can stop in Rochelle, Illinois, to slake your thirst and get a bite to eat at several bars all located a short distance south of the Hub Theater in downtown.
Even better, they are all pretty much withing a block of each other.
We were there back in 2007, so I can't guarantee that they have the same name or specials.
DA PLACE-- With a sign reading DIZMUZBEDAPLACE featuring $1.25 drafts and located right across from the historic gas station.
STUMBLE INN-- $1.50 pints all the time. Very friendly bartender. Fried bologna sandwiches.
CHISUM'S LOUNGE-- $1.50 for 12 oz. draft. Lots of wood and a Packer bar. Karaoke Friday and Saturday.
HUB LOUNGE-- pitched ceiling and whole inside reminded me of a Northwoods bar. Homemade football signs of the old NFL Central Division: Bucs old logo, Lions, Bears, Vikings and Packers. Also, the LA Rams. When cows fly hanging from the ceiling and a sign saying we're 808 miles from Wall Drugs.
A hundred years ago, this was a meat shop and it has been a bar for at least 60 years. There is an old tin ceiling about six feet above the pitched one.
Still a couple more to go.

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.
