JULY 17-- The Ted Drewes locations in St. Louis closed temporarily after a worker got COVID-19 virus. Oh no. No Concretes!!! Well, at least for a short time.
JULY 18-- The Mill Museum in Lincoln, Illinois, is closing down for the rest of 2020. The reasons are the impact of the virus and needed repairs. The Lincoln City Council will decide if they will put $15,000 from the hotel taxes toward the Mill.
It opened in 1929 and in 2006 efforts really began to restore it. The first time we saw it was in 2002 and it was looking pretty bad.
Sadly, the place in the downtown square which used to serve the schnitzel the Mill was famous for has closed as well. Now let's hope some restaurant starts serving it.
JULY 24-- The inventor of Springfield cashew chicken has died at age 99. David Leong fled China in 1938 when the Japanese took over and immigrated to the United States and joined the U.S. Army. He stormed ashore in Normandy on D-Day.
This is the first I have ever heard of Springfield cashew chicken but will certainly be on the list of places to eat at the next time we go there.
