THAT 50'S PLACE-- DWIGHT-- 600 W. Mazon Avenue
The billboards on I-55 alerted him. In a 27-year old truck stop and originally called Harvest Table. Lots of 50s decor. "The decor is pure '50s diner, and the menu is full of "Happy Days" references, including the Ralph Malph mac and cheese."
I haven't eaten here, but once stopped to use the truck stop bathroom which was nasty and I'm not easily offended. Hope they cleaned it up since then. The restaurant looks like a neat place.
THE PALMS GRILL-- ATLANTA-- 110 SW Arch Street--
Dates to 1934 and named for the trees the owner used as decorations. Closed many years ago (see blog entries earlier this week), but reopened in April. Phil was impressed at how closely the new one matched the former. Fried bologna sandwiches and a blue-plate special daily. "Central Illinois visitors often hunt for a superior pork-tenderloin sandwich; I nominate this one." He also raves on the pies.
That pork-tenderloin gets my nomination as well. It's really a two-meal effort. A "Don't Miss" classification.

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.
