Photo 9-BKE-14

Comments

Is this the corner of 47 & 71?

I am going to disagree with the prior comment about the location of this Standard service station, Y Restaurant. and Valley Maid ice cream shop. Reason being, notice on the traffic light there is a U.S. 34 sign. With that said, the location given is not correct.

This Station Is Actually On The SouthEast Corner Of U.S. Route 34 and Illinois Route 47 In Yorkville, IL.

The Location On The Map As Of Today Is Wrong.

This Station Is Now The Site Of A Chase Bank and an O'Reilly Auto Parts Store.

The (Standard) Amoco Eventually Moved Across The Street At Some Point. That Station Is Now A BP.

Lots of changes at this intersection and I do mean a lot
