My destinations of choice were usually around the Illinois-Hampton intersection where Austin's, Pizza Inn, Dairy Mart and Griff's were located.

The Goff's on Lover's Lane is still open. There is a statue of either V.I. Lenin or Karl Marx out front, which I always thought was odd. And, as I recall, lots of signs with those "pithy" sayings. Next time I'm by there, I'll stop and get photos for you, Dave. I don't know how to post photos on this web site, but if you send my your email address, I can send them directly to you if you are interested.
