1/2 mile north of 60th ave, on east side US 67. Bob Johnson family lived there in the late 60s and early 70s, I think. (I was southbound at about 1 AM, on a very cold late December 77 night, and had the right rear tire blowout on my 74 corvette, after driving over a piece of steel on the pavement, while going by their house VERY fast. Put the spare on just off US 67 at 60th ave. The young woman I was seeing that night in Moline married me 45 years ago tomorrow night.)

Hi Chad, thank you for sharing your memorable story about the area near 60th Ave! It sounds like quite an eventful night. We'd love to learn more about your experiences growing up in Mercer County, IL. What was it like during the late 60s and early 70s? Happy Anniversary!

You are correct, Chad! My family would’ve lived there when you had your blowout. The stonewall in front was gone by then and 67 was just a little bit wider than it is in that picture.
