APRIL 7, 2017: The former Filling Station restaurant on Route 66 in Lexington, Illinois, will be reopening in July as Kelly's On 66. It closed in 2011 and is at 905 1/2 West Main Street, right across from the famous neon sign directing Route 66 motorists to downtown Lexington.
We ate there once before when it was The Filling Station and often remarked as we drove by that we wished it would reopen. We were in Lexington this past Sunday during the Illinois Route 66 Red Carpet Corridor Festival and it has the new name up, but not open.
Looking Forward to its Reopening. --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.
