DAY 163: ALL ABOARD!

 The mural-in-progress is quickly taking shape on Jim Tabor & Connie Rakes' Willie A's Restaurant at the corner of Depot & MLK. 

Artist Susan Crum-Cox is doing a great job in recapturing the feel of a by-gone era in Lebanon, when the busy train depot was located just across the street and the tracks ran so close between the old Bill's Cafe and Sunnyside Saloon that those buildings must have quivered every time a locomotive passed through. 

The building was vacant for years after the closing of Bill's Cafe; the new owners are working very hard on serving up good food and a welcoming atmosphere there, and have recently begun to host live bands on the weekends in the outdoor waterfall garden.
