The Bloomington Pantagraph gave what amounts to a progress report on the restoration of The Mill in Lincoln, Ill.
The circa-1929 bar and restaurant on Route 66 is getting a face-lift after years of neglect.
Tidbits from the story:
- Local organizers seek to have it reopened as a museum in 2009.
- Contributions of time and money for The Mill’s rehabilitation are about one-quarter to the goal.
- Hopper’s All Around Hardwood Floors and More is donating the flooring for the project.
