Visited in March 2011 – great photo opportunity – Dwight is a nice town to visit – make sure you also call in to Gary’s filling Station on your trip http://garysgayparita.com/
stopped by last october 2010 in my ’32 Ford roadster , on my way to the Hunnert car pileup in Decatur. Ate across the street at the Route 66 cafe. Great photo op, and great food.
Went there in 2007 and was immediately greeted by an older gentleman. He showed me around and we talked for at least half an hour. Wonderful place. Thank you!
